HomeMy WebLinkAbout06.a.5) Consider scheduling Board Member training session as suggested by Board Member Williams�a.$)
Central Contra Costa Sanitary District
DATE: February 19, 2015
TO: HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD
FROM: ROGER S. BAILEY, GENERAL MANAGER
SUBJECT: BOARD GOVERNANCE WORKSHOP
At the January 8, 2015 Board meeting, Member Williams suggested that the Board
schedule a Board Governance workshop. I have contacted Brent Ives of BHI
Management Consulting (see his attached e- mail). He has indicated that he does not
have any time slots available until April or May. He also included information about this
colleague, David Aranda, who could also conduct the training sooner.
would like your input on the following:
o Selection of a facilitator
o Possible agenda topics other than those proposed by Mr. Ives
o Location of the training (3 -4 hour session)
o District staff you would like to attend (one option would be to split up the
training, with a portion of it conducted with only Board Members and the
facilitator present, the rest including senior staff)
Please let me know your preferences and we will proceed accordingly.

Thanks for your inquiry today. We would be happy to provide your Board with this training. As I
mentioned both David and I have significant experience with Board Governance training. The
generalized topics presented in our 3 -4 hr. training is:
1. The Basis, Evolution and Obligation of Board Membership
2. Board Member Role
3. Board Governance/ Public Process
4. Board Team Membership
5. Proper Use of Board Committees
6. Communicating as Board Member
The cost is $3200, plus expenses. David will require higher expenses since he is located in
Tehachapi.
