COUNTY BOARD RULES  
PUBLIC COMMENT (see registration report included with minutes)  
- Erik Anderson, Primrose, registered to speak on the proposed Ch 7 changes (neither in  
support or opposition, but for clarification).  
Supervisors Tim Rockwell and Tim Kiefer both spoke in opposition to the Wegleitner  
proposal to remove prayer from the County Board proceedings section of Ch 7.  
Wegleitner responded with a suggestion to add a reference to "reflection."  
Staff read through each proposed change to Ch 7 with clarifying responses from  
Corporation Counsel and committee members indicated whether a provision should move  
forward to ordinance drafting or be removed.  
Due to time constraints and the length of the Ch 7 porposed amendments document, the  
committee decided to hold an additional meeting on March 24th at 6:30 p.m. to take up  
the remaining Wegleitner proposed amendments in order to be able to have an OA ready  
for the first April meeting of the committee. A motion was made to that effect.
