B-260 District Board Committees

The District Board may, by action, establish committees that it determines are necessary to assist the District Board in its responsibilities.

District Board committees that are only advisory have no authority or power to act on behalf of the District Board unless authorized by the District Board. Findings or recommendations shall be reported to the District Board for consideration.

The District Board has established the following committee(s):

PERSONNEL COMMITTEE

The Personnel Committee shall be responsible to the District Board for policy matters related to the College's personnel.

Among the duties of the Personnel Committee are the following:

• To make recommendations to the District Board on policy matters related to the personnel of the College.

FINANCE COMMITTEE

The Finance Committee shall be responsible to the District Board for all policy matters related to the College's finances and budget.

Among the duties of the Finance Committee are the following:

In addition, the District Board Chairperson may appoint ad hoc or temporary committees to provide advisory services for specific projects or problems. These committees shall be disbanded when their report is submitted to the District Board.

Meetings for District Board committees will be held when the committee chairperson deems appropriate. District Board committees may meet when a committee-related agenda item requires significant discussion and input, when a committee-related agenda item requires the additional attention of the committee members, or when several committee-related agenda items exist, it would be in the entire District Board’s best interest to hold a preliminary discussion at the committee level. Committee meetings will be scheduled at a time separate from the monthly regular District Board meeting.

The President/District Director shall serve as a resource person to all committees, and the chairperson of each committee may call upon the President/District Director and their Employees for assistance and information.

The Chairperson of the District Board shall serve as an ex-officio member of all committees.
