Order of BOCC agenda changing
SANDPOINT — The order of agenda is changing, said Bonner County Commissioner Luke Omodt at Tuesday morning’s meeting.
While public comment and the commissioner’s reports used to open the commissioners’ weekly meetings, they will now be placed at the end of the agenda to be more considerate of county employees’ time. Holding these portions of the meeting at the beginning of the meeting has caused department heads, or anyone waiting to present during the meeting, to wait upward of multiple hours to present their requests to commissioners.
That practice, Omodt said, was inconsiderate to the employees’ time. Staff should not be expected to waste time sitting in a meeting for hours only to present for a few minutes before being allowed to leave, he added.
