MEETING DATE: January 3, 1992
AGENDA ITEM: RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A MEETING SCHEDULE FOR THE
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY FOR CALENDAR
YEAR 1992 AND ADOPTING RULES OF PROCEDURE FOR SUCH
MEETING
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: O/~~~tt~
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
In January of every year the Board of Supervisors reorganizes
itself by electing a chairman and vice-chairman, by establishing a
meeting schedule for the upcoming year, and by adopting rules of
procedure. The attached resolution suggests a meeting schedule for
the calendar year 1992 and certain rules of procedure to govern
your meetings.
In reviewing the proposed meeting schedule you should note the
following:
Regular meetings twice a month on the second and fourth
Tuesdays (the evening public hearing meeting being scheduled
for the fourth Tuesday of each month).
Three meetings being scheduled for April to accommodate the
review and adoption of the budget.
Only one meeting scheduled for August (August 25, 1992) (often
the need for formal board action decreases in the summer
months, an abbreviated meeting schedule is followed by many
localities).
Only one meeting scheduled for November (November 17, 1992).
December meetings scheduled for the first and third Tuesdays
(the November and December meeting schedule changes are
suggested to accommodate the holiday season).
The 1993 organizational meeting is scheduled for Monday,
January 4, 1993.
Next, the Board will note that the rules of procedure are the
same as previously adopted by the Board. It has been suggested
1
`~
that the rules of procedure be amended so that formal action at a
Board meeting not be allowed unless that matter is shown on the
printed Board meeting agenda, or is requested by the County
Administrator or County Attorney as an item requiring immediate
attention, or is approved by unanimous consent of the Board members
present. The intent of this amendment is to provide the Board with
the benefit of a staff report outlining the relevant facts and
analyzing the alternatives.
In anticipation of this proposal, it is suggested that the
Board may want to consider the following as an amendment to the
rules of procedure:
3. c. That no amendment or addition to the printed agenda be
permitted unless approved by unanimous vote of all Board
members present, unless requested by the County Administrator
or the County Attorney as a matter requiring immediate
attention. This provision applies to Main Motions and shall
not apply to Privileged Motions, Subsidiary Motions,
Incidental Motions, or Motions That Bring a Question Again
Before the Board.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board consider the adoption of the
attached resolution.

RULES OF PROCEDURE FOR 1992
Lee, I have no problem with most of those matters identified in
your memo of 12/9/91. I do raise objection though to an item
contained in your last substantive paragraph and I find that to be
in conflict with your first paragraph. Specifically, and I am
quoting:
., I believe that any issue requested by a board member
prior to the time the meeting agenda is printed should always
be included on that agenda.
This appears to me to be in conflict with your first paragraph
statement that says:
I believe that better results can always be achieved if the
staff first prepares background information and alternatives,
and .the Board members act after reflection and a reasonably
complete understanding of the issue.
Just because a Board member wants an item placed on the agenda,
this should not necessarily cause that item to be placed there if
it is going to require any background information to be sought out
by our staff. For example, I can see calling in on Friday morning
asking that something be added. Since the agenda is also printed
and distributed Friday, staff would have absolutely no time to do
any background checks, etc.
I would be pleased to discuss this with you and other board members
at the appropriate time.
