MEMORANDUM
TO: Dane County Board of Supervisors
FROM: Supervisor Scott McDonell, Chair
Dane County Board of SupervisorsSUBJECT: Standing and Continuing Committee Appointments for the 2012-2014 Term
I am today making the standing and continuing committee appointments as shown on the attached list. As in previous years, some committees generated much greater interest than others, making appointments difficult.
The first person listed is designated to call the first committee meeting. Committees will elect a chair from among their members at the first meeting (it has been our practice that all members be present to elect a chair). Committees should determine which night and at what time they will regularly meet, based on the preferences of the members.
As you know, this is our first year of including youth members on all the standing committees, except the Executive Committee. After you convene your first meeting, please choose one member of your committee to be a mentor for your new youth member and inform the board office of the choice. I know you will all make every effort to help our youth members feel comfortable at committee meetings and included in committee deliberations.
Thank you for your input into the appointment process, and good luck as you address the important county issues facing your committee. Please let me know if you have any questions or other suggestions.
