Board staff to expand briefing reports and post meeting materials 10 days early
Summary
Board staff described measures to organize materials and expand briefing reports so committee items include significance, data, and requested board action; materials will be accessible to the board and public 10 days before meetings.
Board staff told committee chairs that briefing reports accompanying committee agendas will be expanded to provide enough detail for non-committee members to understand the significance of each agenda item, the data to be presented, and what is being requested from the board (action, advice, awareness, or decision). Staff also said meeting materials will be accessible to the board and the public 10 days prior to the meeting.
The procedural change is intended to help board members focus preparation time on committee materials while allowing non-committee members to glean the significance of items. The minutes record the procedural change but do not include the expanded briefing reports themselves; staff will produce and post those materials ahead of the June meetings.
