effective July 1, 2016. It will be based on the updated goals, etc. adopted by the
Board at the Strategic Planning Workshop held November 6, 2015. The draft
strategic plan will be presented for discussion by the Administration Committee in
Spring 2016.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Received update and provided input to staff.
4. Discuss the possibility of developing a Board Code of Ethics Policy
Chair Williams noted that General Manager Roger Bailey wished to be present
for this discussion; however, in his absence, he suggested that the Committee's
preliminary thoughts be gathered.
Member McGill said he was not sure a code of conduct/ethics policy would
provide much benefit, and asked what was expected to be accomplished by
having one.
Chair Williams said he was more interested in developing a policy that covered
conduct in addition to ethics, since training on the latter is already statutorily
mandated. In terms of conduct, he believed trying to capture the intended spirit
of any issues, such as the Board only dealing with policy -level issues and truly
letting the General Manager run the District.
Ms. Boehme said two recurring themes have been raised in the past with regard
to Board conduct — confidentiality regarding closed sessions, and the most
appropriate mechanism for gauging when staff should perform work on matters
requested by a Board Member.
Ms. Sasaki, speaking as a newer employee, said it is helpful to have written
policies when there are changes in staff or Board Members.
As part of the process for considering a code of conducbethics policy, the
Committee Members asked to review the Board Guidelines Binder, last updated
during the 2012 election cycle, which contains information for newly elected
Board Members. It was suggested that existing Board policies be incorporated
into future versions of the Binder, and that it become an electronic document that
is readily available and easily updated. Member McGill requested that staff
highlight those sections of the Board Guidelines Binder that the Committee
should focus on when considering updates.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Requested that when this matter is brought back to
the Committee for further discussion, the relevant sections of the current
Board Guidelines Binder be provided as well.
