Memorandum
To: Board of Directors
From: Peter Holzmeister
Date: February 22, 2005
Subject: Board governance workshop
Why this matter is before the board: This matter involves scheduling a
workshop facilitated by Bob Rauch at which the board would discuss its
governance processes.
History: This matter was discussed initially at the strategic plan workshop in
October of 2004. Several items were discussed at that time that suggested that
the board could benefit by clarifying how it wanted to conduct business and the
matters that it wanted to deal with as distinguished from what should be
delegated to staff. The original plan was to hold this board workshop in January,
but it was postponed until after directors had a chance to attend the Special
District Institute to be held in February.
New information: The Special District Institute will be held this week. Two of
our directors will have attended seminar sessions on district governance. This is
probably the ideal time to schedule a workshop to look at our specific
governance needs. I will have a chance to talk with Bob Rauch at the Institute
and will find out his availability to come to Truckee.
Recommendation: I recommend that the board schedule a workshop with Bob
Rauch to discuss board governance processes. I will bring a number of possible
dates to the meeting on March 2.
