Board reviews first reading of Policy BBG on member concerns, leaves disciplinary step for later
Summary
Chair Kendell Ferguson opened a first reading of draft Policy BBG (Board Member Concerns about Board Member Behaviors); the board agreed on revisions to steps 1 and 2 but deferred step 3 dealing with formal disciplinary actions to a future meeting.
Chair Kendell Ferguson introduced draft Policy BBG, intended to create a structured process for addressing concerns about board member behavior and to reduce repeated complaints during meetings.
Board members questioned the policy's origin, the wording and intent of step 1, and whether the policy's procedures could result in disciplinary action. The board reached consensus on clarifying language for steps 1 and 2, including expectations for direct one-on-one conversations and use of a mutually agreed-upon mediator; discussion of step 3, which describes formal disciplinary procedures, was left unresolved and will be continued at a later meeting. Ferguson said the revised policies (except BBG) will go to second reading on Nov. 20.
