October 13, 2004
Meeting called to order by Chair Jacobson at 9:00 A.M.

Zoerb, excused.
Others present: Administrative Coordinator Chuck Whiting.
Adoption of Agenda: Motion by Caflisch, 2 nd by Jordan to adopt the agenda as
published. Carried.
Adoption of Minutes: Motion by Caflisch, 2 nd by Leonard to approve the September Stn
2004 minutes. Carried.
Next meeting: November 10 2004 — unless advised otherwise.
Review of Proposed By -Law Amendment: The committee discussed the change that
was suggested at the September County Board session pertaining to the first sentence of
Item "Q" of the County Board Rules and Bylaws. Caflisch sees no problem with making
the suggested change. Chair Jacobson stated that we are seeing more and more
consolidation considerations springing up.
Motion by Jordan, 2 nd by Caflisch to have Item Q, read: When a department head
vacancy occurs, the potential for improving County government by modifying the
position description and/or the organization of the department shall be considered.
Motion carried. The amended resolution will be presented to the County Board on
October 28 for their approval.
County Board Goals Progress: Not much has been put into place since our last meeting
in regard to goal setting sessions preparations. The bus tour is still a consideration. The
facilitator could talk as the tour is in progress.
Land Management: The Committee discussed what type of a plan needs to be put in
place to deal with County owned land. Jordan stated two questions need to be
answered. 1. What land do we have? 2. What will the disposition of the land be?
Take the time to master plan before land is sold off. Whiting stated we need to come
up with a process to come up with a plan. Jacobson asked what could be done with
the small parcels? These could be sold off.
Legislative Issues: The WCA Conference was disappointing. Political speakers took up
a half day of the conference, which Chair Jacobson felt was unnecessary. Chair Malick
was not present to give a report on the WCA Resolutions that were submitted.
