reports back to the board. <br /> Schuppan stated he agrees with Mr. Arnold. He stated that a lot of things that happen in public <br /> works should not be public they go out and talk to people and take care of the problems. It <br /> doesn't need to be in a public meeting. <br /> Arnold stated it doesn't make sense to have another meeting. <br /> Quandt questioned what he was afraid of. <br /> Arnold stated that you will not get the open discussion. Arnold replied that Gary is good at <br /> running over people and does not want to see that with the elected and appointed officials. <br /> Lancaster stated that she sees it similar to the corrections meetings there was a concern that <br /> the corrections steering committee would go away but Mr. Ruiz fees that it has worked out well. <br /> The sensitive issues are addressed by the steering committee. She stated that the larger <br /> counties have a similar situation and they meet every Tuesday She stated she doesn't think it <br /> would be necessary every meeting. With the facilities committee they have so many things <br /> going on there is no harm trying it. There could be some advantages but the county clerk would <br /> have to be present. <br /> Mr. Schuppan stated that what Pam proposed is different. <br /> Mr. Quandt wants to include all elected officials. Part of his plan is to consolidate the meetings <br /> on Tuesdays. He thinks it is the right thing to modify the committees. <br /> Mr. Arnold replied that Mr. Quandt is making it personal the work gets done with a quality <br /> product in the committees. He noted that the computer committee goes over the request from <br /> other department and if it is a good product they move forward. <br /> Mr. Ziola stated he likes the committees and he would like to bring other issues to the board. <br /> There are also sensitive issues that the committees deal with. He is not opposed to trying it and <br /> if it doesn't work they can change it.

Stacey stated this is a procedural <br /> manner and different ideas need to be ironed out. If it is just put on the agenda you have to <br /> have authority to take action. She asked which committees, how often what time and if this is <br /> approved someone has to know how to enact this. <br /> Mr. Purdy asked who Mr. Quandt wants to come to the board. <br /> Mr. Quandt stated you have to start somewhere need to set up building and grounds and put it <br /> on the agenda so the whole board has a chance to ask questions and everyone is part of the <br /> discussion. <br /> Mr. McFarland stated that this is a divided issue and there are plus and minuses on both sides. <br /> There are a lot of details that need to be worked out and you can't implement a plan if you do <br /> 9 <br />
