403 <br />404 <br />405 <br />406 Chair Eckman noted the need for someone to serve as a "Historian" or "Archiver" for the Board to <br />407 continue the research of the GLMWO that she had created to -date and keep it updated going forward, <br />408 tracking key events. Chair Eckman noted some of the things included in the current DRAFT By -Laws <br />409 that may be contrary to BWSR statutory requirements. <br />410 <br />411 Chair Eckman asked that the By -Laws include a section related to Board Attendance, and the Board's <br />412 expectations that individual Board Members notify the Chair or Administrator when unable to attend a <br />413 meeting; and if a Board Member missed three (3) meetings in a row, the Board considers their continued <br />414 service on the Board. <br />415 Action Item <br />416 Mr. Petersen was directed to research various By -Laws for applicable language. <br />417 <br />418 Chair Eckman noted the need to add a section related to potential Conflict of Interest issues for Board <br />419 Members, especially as the GLWMO Board moved into a larger budget with the Third Generation Plan. <br />420 <br />421 Chair Eckman suggested that another section include protocol related to individual Board Members <br />422 speaking on behalf of the Board without prior GLWMO Board authorization. <br />423 <br />424 Action Step <br />425 Mr. Petersen was directed to correct the spelling of "WEB SITE;" and clarified that the BWSR context <br />426 was related to fiduciary matters, such as having a quorum. Mr. Petersen advised that he would review the <br />427 DRAFT By -Laws with BWSR statutory requirements and make sure they were consistent; and provide a <br />428 revised DRAFT for a future GLWMO Board discussion and adoption. <br />429 <br />430 GLWMO Commissioner Orientation Workshops <br />431 Mr. Petersen and Chair Eckman alerted Board Members to workshops and meetings that may interest <br />432 Members and allow for productive networking opportunities, including the annual October meeting of the <br />433 Minnesota Association of Watershed Districts. <br />434 <br />435 Discussion included future orientation events and various speakers from applicable organizations (e.g. <br />436 BWSR) to be considered later in the fall or early winter and possibly incorporated into a brief <br />437 presentation at regular Board meetings as an educational resource for Board Members as well as the <br />438 public. <br />439 <br />440 Member Miller suggested BWSR would be a high priority to provide an understanding of mandates <br />441 affecting the GLWMO and its Board. <br />442 <br />443 Action Steps <br />444 • Mr. Petersen was directed to contact BWSR representatives as to their availability for a GLWMO <br />445 orientation at the November 2011 meeting. <br />446 <br />447 Mr. Petersen suggested periodic guest lecturers or presenters as applicable; and to pursue other potential <br />448 outside speaker options as they become available; and to maintain pro - active involvement in studies and <br />449 contacts that could provide information and assistance to the Board. <br />450 <br />451 • Member Westerberg asked that Mr. Petersen inform individual Board members about impacts of <br />452 a potential state government shutdown, especially as applicable to the Third Generation Plan <br />453 process. <br />0 <br />
