body
Financial Impact:
There is no financial impact.
Background Information:
This study session was brought forward due to a future agenda item request on 10/8/24 by Supervisor Hansen. In August of 2022 Supervisor Carlson, who was the Chair at the time, requested that minutes be brought forward on the regular agenda due to the climate of the Board at that time. Up until this request minutes had been on Consent since 2005. As a general practice the Board has allowed the Chair and Vice-Chair, through the agenda review process, to set the order of the meeting.
Resolution 2022-2 adopted by the Board on January 11, 2022, established Rosenberg’s rules of order for all Board meetings. Rosenberg’s rules state that for all intents and purposes, the Chair makes the final ruling on the rules every time the Chair states an action. In fact, all decisions by the Chair are final unless overruled by the body itself.
