BACKGROUND
The Rules of Procedure are being updated to include changes to the delivery of agenda materials, updated decorum language, and minor clerical revisions.
At the request of the Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) Board Chairman, the proposed Board of Directors protocols were designed to assist the Board of Directors, staff, and others by memorializing existing policies, successful procedures, and best practices for the conduct of business. The protocols are intended to be an instructive source of guidance so that accepted practices are identified and documented.
The protocols are intended to be consistent with all legal requirements applicable to the conduct of Sanitation District business. In the instance any protocols conflict with State or Federal law, or with the Sanitation District Ordinances, such State or Federal law, or Sanitation District Ordinances, will take precedence.
It is expected that the Board of Directors will renew these protocols periodically, in order to consider appropriate additions, deletions, and/or amendments.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• California Government Code Section 54950 et seq.
• Comply with transparency and communication requirements, including the Brown Act
