Motion to approve items #10 -17 by Zoerb, 2 " by Don Jordan.
Supervisors Addressine the Board:
Counsel Timmerman says that it is prohibited because of the open meetings law. Certain items are
not permissible for discussion at a county board meeting and this is not because the Chair does not
wish to discuss it, but because the law does not allow this. Referred to Attorney General ruling
against a county wishing public input and supervisor input. It has nothing to do with the
supervisor's authority to discuss it, but on the appropriateness of bringing up something not already
on the agenda. However, if a supervisor should propose to place this on the agenda and Chair
refuses to do this, the County Board can overrule it. This is best handled by allowing a Committee
to request the topic to be placed on the agenda beforehand.
lReference was made to the wording in Article III.D.i: "Appoint members to non - elected
icommittees, subcommittees, organizations and agencies in consultation with the Vice Chair. The
experience of a supervisor shall be taken into consideration when making these appointments."
Legislative Issues:
(Chairman Malick relayed that he was appointed to the Resolutions Committee of the Wisconsin
Counties Association which will take place in Madison on August 16.
I
Tabor — what really happened? Short discussion questioning status of TABOR.
Future Agenda Items: Board of Adjustment Appointments Confirmation, Supervisor Speer- -
supervisors addressing the Board and Health & Human Services Rules.
Malick brought up some ideas for 2005 County Board Goal Setting — potential speaker, Terry
Luterman, who is a statistician. He suggested using a coach bus with microphone capabilities —
combining tour with speaker to travel to one or several county facilities /parks.
Recommendation that we discuss 2005 County Board Goal Setting speakers /activities at the next
Board meeting. Date of Monday, April 25 was proposed as the date of the 2005 Goal Setting
Session and it was recommended that we attempt to secure the services of Terry Luterman, and
request from him ideas for possible topics. Chuck Whiting will do this.
Motion to adjourn by Leonard, 2 °d by Jordan.
Meeting adjourned at 10:45 a.m.
