REVIEW OF COUNTY BOARD BY -LAWS — ARTICLE V — MEETINGS OF THE BOARD RE:
FREQUENCY OF COUNTY BOARD MEETINGS: Discussion regarding the current County Board
meeting schedule of no meetings during the months of February and July; discussion regarding the need for
meetings each month throughout the year. Malick reported there may be a need for a July meeting this year;
Malick also reported (as a sideline to the possibility of additional meetings) he intends to propose an increase
in the budget concerning per diem and mileage rates.
Discussion regarding current bylaw language; the committee determined there is no immediate need to amend
the bylaws with respect to holding additional meetings. Discussion regarding adding the meetings to the
1
schedule and cancelling if necessary; Malick reported the County Board consent agenda includes the approval
of the next meeting date and the legalities are met if there is unanimous vote to amend the meeting schedule.
Discussion regarding traditionally operating without the February and July meetings thus committees and
departments have always planned accordingly. Discussion concerning adding meetings may alleviate the
burden of incorporating items into already full agendas and allowing more time for department annual reports,
etc. Discussion regarding expense and the benefits of more meetings far outweighing the costs.
Committee consensus is to add the additional meetings to the schedule; run a pilot program and evaluate.

modified to change the emphasis.
