Polk County quorum court adopts procedural rules, makes court a committee of the whole and names standing-committee leaders
Summary
At its Jan. 1 organizational meeting the Polk County Quorum Court adopted new procedural rules that convert budget and personnel business to a committee-of-the-whole, added an executive-session provision for cybersecurity, and appointed standing-committee chair and co-chair and several external representatives.
The Polk County Quorum Court on Jan. 1 adopted new procedural rules that make the full quorum court act as a "committee of the whole" for budget and personnel matters, added an executive-session provision for cybersecurity matters, and selected leaders and representatives for several standing committees and external boards.
