WORK SESSION ITEM: Working Agreements
STAFF DIRECTION:
The Board identified the following working agreements:
1. Interruptions - more orderly discussion, one person speaks at a time, work sessions can be more
conversational and regular meetings should be more structured/formal/business. It would be helpful for
chair to identify key issues for discussion. Need to revisit the meeting critique during open discussion at
regular meeting.
2. Follow public meeting procedures - articulate position on critical issues (assure opportunity for final
comments where appropriate).
3. Meeting time members need to be punctual. Advise staff of absences or lateness to meetings.

4. Citizen contacts - use judgment to advise Board of citizen contacts, be careful of what you say (don't
make promises). Board Chair and Manager set the agenda.
5. Need to live with decisions unless there is new and compelling information.
6. Help Chair manage public discussion time.
7. Identify lengthy meetings with dinner schedule (6:00 to 6:45).
The Board also requested that tapes and information be preserved for as long as possible.
