from: Angela Ruck, Acting Board Secremry
tiubject: On-f;uin~ Project Status List
.fit the L)ecemher S, 20D7 wort: session
1 he Board requested to review how the On-Going Project Status i,i5t should be addressed during
their tncetings. Currently, the list is considered "unfinished Business" ort the agenda. T>iscussion
ensued on how to altpro;tch the list and a request ~,as made to have this topic as a dise;ussinn item
on the January 16, 2008 agenda.
RI:CULvL\1F.NUATK)N
Staff ruontmends the Board evaluate the impnrtattce of the list and place it on the agenda
according to their needs.
One suggestion would be to put it under "lnfomrational Items and KepuRs -1vu :'lction
Kayuired' tlvat way the Board could discuss it when appropriate. Il'discussiun is not needed
during a particular meeting, the Board simply dues not ncul to discuss it.
Cscating a subcommittee within the F3uard to evaluate how the 1'rvyect Status List should be
addressed is another option, but staff would like to remind that any committee (2 members or
more) is subject to the. Open Meetings Act, and all meetings on the topic will nerd to be noticed
pruper4y.
Another option is to review the list atutually (or possibly quarterly), similar to what the Planning
and Toning G+mmission does. The Pr~jcet Status i,ist can always he added to as topics arise
throughout the year.
Ultimsatcly it is thr Boatel's dceision how they want tv address agenda items. ' illese are just some
possibilities to consider.
