The Board Meeting minutes are audio recorded, transcribed, and made available in the BCCWID Office for the public to access during business hours in accordance with the Arizona Open Meeting Law. Transcribed minutes will be posted here after they become available and as promptly as possibe. An UNOFFICIAL or DRAFT version may be posted until the Minutes are made OFFICIAL by Board approval at a Regular Meeting. The Board must vote with a majority in favor of approving the Minutes in order to make them OFFICIAL.
Video recordings of Meetings can be accessed on this YouTube channel and are now typically being posted immediately after the meetings whenever possible to improve transparecy.
The key portions of every set of Minutes are the Treasurer's Report, the Operations Report, and the Actions of the Board. The Minutes are typically written in the order the activities occurred and are intended to comply with State Laws, presenting as complete a record of what transpired as possible. The UNOFFICIAL transcript of the minutes is typically presented for approval by the Board at the next scheduled Regular Meeting.
Board Meetings:
All meetings are held in accordance with the Arizona Open Meeting Law with Meeting Notice and Agenda being posted in advance at specified public locations. In addition to the Regular meetings, Special Session and Emergency Session Board Meetings may be called from time to time as needed. The Board can only legally make decisions regarding the District at a formal public meeting with the public present. A quorum must be present to proceed (three of more members of a five member board) and any decisions require a majority vote. The primary purpose is to discuss finances, operations, and the Agenda items published on the Notice for the meeting. Public involvement at the time is expected to be minimal and solely when recognized by the Chair. The Chair attempts to move the meeting along so it will finish in a reasonable period of time.
Call To Public
The General Public is limited to addressing the Board with their comments, suggestions and/or complaints on issues or matters of concern at the end of the formal meeting during a period of Public Call. Those wishing to address the Board need not request permission in advance. However, Board action during Public Call is generally limited by law to the Board directing staff, or possibly a Board member, to further study the matter and report later or by placing the matter on the agenda of an upcoming Board meeting for further consideration and/or decision by the Board.
