Link, Jr. Government Services Center, downstairs meeting room 200 South Cameron Street, Hillsborough Expected Attendees:Eight appointed Committee members, five designated resource persons, two Board liaisons, meeting facilitator, and community observers (see attached roster). Desired Outcomes x Committee members, liaisons, and resource persons begin to develop good working relationships. x Committee members, liaisons, and resource persons understand and are committed to their shared task and overall process. x Committee identifies information itwill need to do its work. Proposed Meeting, Discussion,and Decision Making Guidelines 1.Each Committee meeting will be conducted according to the following good meeting guidelines: x Begin and adjourn on time x Listen when others are speaking x One person speaks at a time. x Stick to the topics and tasks on the Committee’s agenda x Share the discussion time fairly within the Committee. x It is OK to disagree…please do so respectfully. 2.The Committee will make decisions only with a quorum (no fewer than six of the eight Committee members) in attendance.The Committee will strive for decisions and work products supported by the whole Committee. The Committee may decide by a supermajority vote (n/2+2) of the Committee members present at the time of the vote. 3.The two liaisons and five resource persons designed by the Board of Commissioners to the Committee may participate in Committee discussions in order to provide factual information or their professional judgment. The liaisons, resource persons, and facilitator will not participate in Committee decision making. 4.Observers are welcome at all Committee meetings. Time will be allotted at each Committee meeting for observers to address the Committee. The Committee will not immediately answer questions or get into discussions with these speakers, although Committee members, liaisons, resource persons, and the facilitator may follow-up with speakers after the meeting, and topics of interest to the Committee may be placed on a future meeting agenda.Observers will not participate in Committee discussions unless invited by an explicit decision by the Committee. Observers will not participate in Committee decision making. 5.All of the Committee’s substantive business will be conducted openly at meetings to be announced in advance by the County,so that the community can see and hear how ideas and solutions are developing in this process. As long as it does not conflict with that principle, individual committee membersmay communicate in-between meetings with anyone (e.g., each other, resource persons, the liaisons, the facilitator, members of the community) in order to advance their personal understanding of issues and perspectives, test tentative ideas, resolve interpersonal misunderstanding or conflict, and coordinate on Committee administrative matters.
