Ad hoc or standing? Committee members debate structure and rules
Summary
Members debated whether the cannabis revenue review group should remain an ad hoc committee (issue-limited) or be created as a standing committee; concerns centered on county rules, when standing committees are formed, and whether the draft policy changes rule-making thresholds.
Several members questioned whether the group should be an ad hoc panel or a standing committee, noting that standing committees are typically created at board reorganization while ad hoc committees address a single issue and dissolve after a recommendation. One member summarized the distinction: "An ad hoc committee is designed to just tackle 1 problem and then be dissolved," emphasizing that an ongoing workload might favor a standing committee.
Others said the group was created as an ad hoc at executive committee and that the original mission was to set parameters and return recommendations, not to revise county board rules. Staff and other members clarified that county board rules are incorporated into ordinances and that significant changes to rules could require a broader board vote or ordinance action.
