Board directs staff to reduce printed packet length for Public Works; first two pages to be printed by default
Summary
Commissioners agreed to reduce the number of printed pages for Public Works meeting packets, printing the agenda (first two pages) by default and providing full packets on request.
During the May 1 meeting, the Muskegon County Public Works Board directed staff to reduce the number of printed pages for Public Works meeting packets, printing the first two pages (the agenda) by default and making the full electronic packet available on tablets or laptops. Commissioners and staff discussed exceptions such as printing salary pages or full packets upon request.
A staff member explained the plan: print the first two pages for the majority of recipients and provide the remainder electronically, with full packets available on request. Commissioner Page offered to print individual packets for any commissioner who still wanted a full hard copy and asked whether to make the change for all members; the board agreed to provide the reduced default packet to everyone.
The action was handled as a staff direction rather than a formal vote; staff will implement the change and continue to accommodate requests for full printed packets.
