Item K04BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
Meeting Date: Wed. Feb. 18, 2009 Division: BOCC
Bulk Item: Yes No X Department: Commissioner Di Gennaro
Staff Contact Person/Phone #: Tamara Lundstrom
305 289-6000
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Discussion regarding Regular BOCC meetings which run into the
evening hours; set adjournment by a certain time to reconvene in the morning of the second
meeting date held aside specifically for this purpose.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
The public is not well-served by an exhausted Commission. For many
years, the Regular BOCC monthly meeting was held on two consecutive days. When the BOCC began
the single day monthly meeting schedule, the second day and meeting room reservation has continued
to be held available for the BOCC to utilize as needed. Utilizing the second day would increase
administrative staff per diem costs for overnight stays or second day travel for the meeting, but is
likely to only be necessary a few times a year.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION:
The BOCC approved a single day monthly meeting
schedule on February 13, 2002 to begin with the next regular meeting in March. (2/1/3/02 Minutes
