Background:
|
Board Governance Policy 2.03, Board Powers and Duties, states “The work of the Board is to serve as trustees for the people of the City of Milwaukee in determining and demanding appropriate organizational performance."
With respect to providing information and counsel to the Board, by policy, executive officers “… shall not permit the Board to be uninformed” and shall “keep the Board abreast of relevant trends, [and] anticipated adverse media coverage."
The Board affirms its commitment to work through its chief executive officers in handling complaints, concerns, communications, and petitions in existing Board Rule and Board Governance Policy.
Recent events suggest these policies may not provide the flexibility or agility with which to keep the Board promptly informed given the speed of information in the digital age.
The attached resolution would direct the Office of Board Governance, in collaboration with the Administration and the Office of Accountability and Efficiency, to conduct a review of the policies and procedures that govern communications to the Board and to bring back any necessary policy revisions.
