STATEMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC ON AGENDA ITEMS <br />There were no statements from the public. <br />As Mr. Henricks had not yet arrived, the Board proceeded to Item 4 of the agenda with <br />plans to return to Item 3 (approval of minutes) when Mr. Henricks was present. <br />4. COMMUNICATIONS <br />Communication No. 2010 -069: Letter dated 8/5/10 from the Cost of Government <br />Commission, requesting a response from the Board regarding its function and <br />services and requesting suggestions on ways for the County to improve efficiency <br />and service. <br />Ms. Schoen pointed out that the letter requested a response by October 1, 2010, and <br />suggested that the Board or one of its members work with her on a response. <br />The Chair said it was not clear whether the Cost of Government Commission ( "COGC ") <br />was asking for suggestions about the functioning of the Board of Ethics or about the county as a <br />whole. Ms. Schoen said it was about the Board but that since they were county officers, the <br />COGC would welcome any other suggestions they might have. <br />1 Minutes in italics are verbatim.
