RECOMMENDATION: |
Commissioners Robert Sconce and Gordon Munck
recommend adoption of the following resolution: RESOLVED that, the Commission adopt the proposed
amendments to the Commissioner’s Handbook and that the Handbook be reprinted
and published for distribution at the May 2011 Commission meeting. |

|
|
INFORMATION: |
The Commissioner’s
Handbook is a book of procedures that was developed in the late 1990s to
guide the Commission’s work. Some of
the language in the handbook restates current or former statutes and
administrative rules unnecessarily. |
|
The
Handbook was reviewed by Commissioners Sconce and Munck and the Executive
Director. Proposed amendments were
incorporated into the attached draft.
Several sections are proposed to be deleted either due to subsequent
legislative changes or due to the fact that the same provisions may be located
in statutes or administrative rules and do not need to be repeated in a
procedural handbook.
It is
recommended that Commissioners review the Handbook at least once every other year
to review certain procedures which were designed to assist in the consistent
running of Commission meetings and business.
