Board amends rules to let committees receive presentations without quorum, defines remonstrance
Summary
The county board updated its rules to allow committees to hear presentations when a quorum is not present (without taking action) and added a written remonstrance definition that requires submissions in advance.
Supervisors approved Resolution 2026-01 to clarify committee procedures when a quorum is lacking and to define remonstrances submitted by the public. The change permits a committee to receive information from presenters even if the meeting is called and immediately adjourned for lack of quorum; the minutes will reflect that the committee received information but that no action was taken.
The rules amendment also establishes that remonstrances — formal objections or protests against a proposed board action — must be submitted in writing ahead of an agenda meeting, rather than presented orally during the meeting. Board members discussed the implications for per diem payments and confirmed that committee members who travel for a meeting where no action is taken may still fill out per diem forms.
