DISCUSSION:
In May 2017, the Commission adopted a comprehensive manual of governance policies based
on the Carver Model of governance. Included in those policies is Governance Policy G.2c
Agenda Planning which establishes expectations for a proactive governance process using a
forward -looking agenda of recurring governance functions. The intention of this agenda is to
create transparency for the occurrence of the most critical responsibilities of the Commission.
An update from the previous year comes from commission direction to adapt the Annual
Commission Performance Self -Evaluation in July to now incorporate feedback from
management. Staff also received instruction from the Commission to reduce the number of
questions and prioritize written responses that elaborate on the scores submitted. Staff is
working to restructure the survey accordingly.
Attached for discussion and commission approval is a proposed 2024 Governance Agenda.
