ERMU Commission Policy — G.2c Agenda Planning <br />c) The Commission will adopt a governance agenda, meeting schedule, and official <br />newspaper for the succeeding year. <br />d) The Commission will review and adopt its proposed Annual Business Plan with budget, <br />rates, and fees for the next fiscal year. <br />5. The Commission will direct the General Manager to prepare and distribute the agenda for <br />each regularly scheduled meeting as follows: <br />a. The General Manager will develop, at least seven (7) days in advance of each regularly <br />scheduled Commission meeting, a tentative agenda, including any items to be discussed <br />in closed session. <br />b. The tentative agenda and meeting packet of supporting materials will be distributed to <br />Commission members and others approximately three (3) days in advance of the <br />Commission meeting. Presentations and supplemental information items may be provided <br />at the Commission meeting, <br />c. The General Manager will ensure the posting of a meeting notice, along with the tentative <br />agenda, in compliance with applicable law. <br />d. Any Commission member or the General Manager may request additions, deletions, or <br />other changes to the agenda at the beginning of a regular meeting when the Commission <br />Chair requests approval of the tentative agenda. Items requiring research or other <br />advanced preparation should be suggested for future meeting agendas. No items may be <br />added to the agenda of special meetings and work sessions. <br />Agendas for regular Commission meetings will be prepared in a consistent format as <br />shown in the most current version of the Commission's "Model Agenda." Agenda items <br />will be categorized by their nature, specifically identifying in order items that are <br />presented: <br />i. Governance — Includes agenda items: call meeting to order, pledge of allegiance, <br />consider agenda, resolutions, and similar actions of governance. <br />ii. Consent — Includes items that are considered routine. There may be questions <br />asked for clarification, but typically these items have no discussion. The items on <br />consent are presented for Commission consideration all together and by one <br />motion. A Commission member may request before the motion to approve the <br />"Consent" items that any item(s) be moved from "Consent" to "Business Action." <br />iii. Open Forum — This is an opportunity for public participation. Speakers will be <br />required to state their name and address for public record. Items will be heard at <br />the discretion of the Commission Chair. Items will be for discussion only; no <br />action can be taken on the topic during that meeting. Presenters shall adhere to a <br />time limit of 3 minutes. <br />iv. Policy & Compliance — Policy review, policy development, and compliance <br />monitoring. <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />55 <br />
