These committees along with the eight committees listed under 2., which do not currently include citizen participation, will be referred to as the County Committees. For purposes of this study, the Policy-Ways and Means Committee of the Board of Commissioners will be categorized as an internal management committee. In addition, the six following regional committees also involve citizen participation from this County as well as from other units of government, for a total of 22 committees with citizen participation: Central MN Mental Health Board Extension Mississippi Corridor Cluster Committee Great River Regional Library Private Industry Council Sherburne/Benton Advisory Committee To Joint Board Of Health Sherburne/Benton Board Of Health Services 2. Eight of the County_ committees consist of some or ali of the Commissioners and/or County. personnel. Four of the County committees consist of all the County Commissioners acting in a different capacity as the Board of Health, the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA), the Noxious Weed Control Appeal Committee and the Ditch Authority. This practice is in contrast to some of the surrounding counties. In Washington, Dakota and Isanti Counties, for example, citizens are appointed to serve on both Housing and Redevelopment Authorities and the Noxious Weed Control Appeal Committees. In addition, two committees consist of some of the Commissioners: the Emergency Management Plan Of Sherburne County, consisting of 4 Commissioners, and the Public Defender Board, consisting of 2 Commissioners. The Child Placement Administrative Review Committee members are all staff, and the Committee On Corrections consists of nine County staff and one Minnesota Department Of Corrections staff. 3. Each County_ Commissioner is appointed to a rather large number of committee and organizational meetings. Each of the County Commissioners is appointed to an average of approximately 20 committees or organizations, in addition to the meetings of political subdivisions within each Commissioner District. For each meeting attended, the Commissioners may receive a per diem payment, but not more than one per diem each day. Some of the committees were classified by the Citizens League as internal management committees, consisting mostly of staff or other County personnel.
