Prior Board Motions:
On October 26, 2021, during Commission Comment, Chair Cornell stated that it is time for the Board to review its Rules of Procedure to update any policies the Board would like to improve on. At a recent Florida Association of Counties meeting a survey was released that showed how Counties are addressing public comments during the pandemic times. Chair Cornell requested that the County Attorney provide the survey to the Board for review. By consensus, the Board directed that a discussion for the Board Rules of Procedure be added to the next available policy meeting.
On August 10, 2021, the Board moved to 1. Extend the State of Emergency with the recommended actions by staff 2. Make guidance and information for organizations that have COVID exposures or outbreak consistent with the CDC guidelines and local
recommendations available and distributed to those organizations 3. Designate resources in support for a COVID hotline in coordination with UF Health. 4. Execute the recommended changes to the Board's Rules of Procedures and Policies. 5. Staff to return with a Resolution for Board.
