Provided for review were the following policies: G-1.4 Agenda Planning,and G-1.8 Commission Committees. For the G-1.4 Agenda Planning policy,there was discussion on the purpose and summary section. Troy Adams suggested it be changed to reflect a two year"rolling"window for routine governance functions. The Commission was open to that suggestion. John Dietz commented that Section 1.1,relating to the election of Commission officers,would need to be changed from the first meeting of the new fiscal year to March after the appointment of Commissioners by the City Council. After discussion of Section 5,relating to Commission involvement in agenda preparation,distribution and the timing of that process,Commission consensus was to make some changes to that section of the draft policy to reflect the way we are currently operating. The G-1.8 Commission Committees policy provided a high level overview of Commission Committees and the way they operate. Troy shared that he would be going over this policy with John Miner to fine tune it based on the Committees we currently have;the Wage and Benefits Committee and the Finance and Reserves Committee.
