Summary

The Board set a schedule for work sessions beginning Sept. 12 and Sept. 19, agreed on submission timelines (7 days in advance), and directed staff to compile proposed language changes into distributable drafts.

During the Aug. 15 session the board agreed to a schedule of focused work sessions to draft and review proposed rule changes. Chair Gene Ryan outlined dates and meeting lengths: a first session on Sept. 12, a shorter work session on Sept. 19 limited to three or four hours, a draft review meeting in October and a potential referral to the County Council on Oct. 24.

Members agreed that proposed language changes should be submitted to staff at least seven days before each work session so staff can compile a consolidated chart or draft for review. Several members recommended using a side‑by‑side chart that shows original language and alternatives, with rationale kept in a separate reference document to keep on‑screen materials concise.
