be solely for use by the County Commissioners, and allowing other County uses to be granted only after
gaining written permission from the Chairman. In response to Commissioner Garcia, Bruce Barker,County
Attorney, stated the room is presently reserved via computer. Mr. Barker stated the priority has always
been for the Commissioners to have the first chance at reserving the room, and it has only been made
available to other County staff after it was determined the Commissioners did not have a use for the room
on a particular date and time. Chair Jerke stated there has been a number of times that the room has
been scheduled and the Commissioners then needed the room to conduct an impromptu meeting. In
response to Commissioner Rademacher, Mr. Barker stated the grievance hearing that was scheduled in
the room this morning could have been held in another room somewhere within this or another County
building. Commissioner Masden stated he does not think it is a good idea to leave the scheduling up to
Chairman. Mr. Barker stated if department heads are required to inquire about the availability of the room
via email, it will limit the number of requests. Commissioner Masden stated he would like to keep the
room open for the Commissioners. Commissioner Garcia concurred with Commissioner Masden.
Commissioner Masden stated he is not skilled at scheduling, and he would not like to be saddled with this
responsibility when chairman. Chair Jerke stated he wants to reserve the room for the Commissioners,
unless it is known the room will not be required for a particular day. Commissioner Rademacher stated
if other rooms are available he does not want the meeting room used. Commissioner Masden moved to
approve said Resolution, reserving the Commissioners' Meeting Room on the third floor for the sole use
of the County Commissioners. Commissioner Rademacher seconded the motion, which carried
unanimously.
RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES: The resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the consent
agenda. No Ordinances were approved.
