issue of Ex- Officio members on the Public Protection Committee. Board By -Laws indicate there are ex-

a future agenda item.
Hermsen inquiry on whether the new County Administrator structure relieves the committee of the
responsibility of approving detailed financial expenditures of the departments. Thompson stated
summarized financial reports were developed following Committee Chair input and are received by
accessing the new FTP site. If committees wish to see more detail, his office can certainly comply. The
committee is no longer tasked with approving day to day expenses of the departments.
