Committee Guidelines
Adopted June 22, 2016
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. If necessary, Committee members may
attend using remote technology. 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 allottedat 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 members may 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.
