  4. Enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of RVMAC meetings and procedures.

    Enhancing the Efficiency and Effectiveness of RVMAC Meetings and Procedures.

    A broad discussion of some ways to enhance the RVMAC’s proceedings included:

    • Move Guest Speakers to the top of the agenda as much as possible. Dolly ensures they are told an approximate time frame, but she said she will be more flexible than she was at the August meeting (which was very long, in a room with no air conditioning and many Zoom problems). She will offer to members the option of voting for a longer duration when needed.
    • Move approval of Minutes and non-essential issues to the end of agendas.
    • Add a Consent Calendar agenda item. Put all supplemental documents at the end of the agenda (these can be attached in the Brown Act Meeting website; everyone approves of the new means to “embed” attachments onto the Agenda).
    • Reminders to maintain all Meeting proceedings with high levels of courtesy and respect; adhere precisely to regulations of Brown Open Meeting Act, Ethics rules, and Roberts Rules of Order. 
  5. Upcoming regular meeting topics.  

    Agenda Items for October 12, 2022 RVMAC Meeting.

    • Review and be ready to approve the By-Laws, first introduced in 2016.
  6. Adjournment

    Next Regular Meeting: September 14, 2022. Adjourned 8:08 p.m.
