Trustees back adding an annual board self-evaluation policy
Summary
The board discussed adding a one-page bylaw requiring an annual board self-evaluation, with several members calling it a best practice and recommending use of a facilitator or ad hoc committee to implement the process; staff said the matter would appear as a first-reading action at the next meeting.
John Wentz introduced a one-page bylaw that would institute an annual self-evaluation for the county board, describing it as a common best practice used by several county boards and modelled on CSBA language. One trustee said she returned from a county board conference where self-evaluation was standard practice and supported the addition.
Trustees discussed whether to use a facilitator, whether individual responses should remain confidential, and whether a small committee should design the implementation details. Several members voiced support for annual evaluation as a governance improvement. Staff indicated the item will appear as a first-reading action at the next regular meeting and recommended not delaying adoption of the practice itself.
