REVIEW OF PROCEDURES POLICY 44 04/04/01 08/10/11
Page 1 of 2
PURPOSE
To establish a policy for review of policies, codes, ordinances, and
resolutions related to District Programs.
BACKGROUND
On April 4, 2001, the Board of Directors approved the application of a
Review Policy to routinely and systematically evaluate and reconsider
District Policies and Procedures.
POLICY
It is the policy of the Board of Directors that:
1.The review shall be a cyclical ongoing process applied to all
District Policies and Procedures.
2.Exceptions include:
a.One-time Actions. Resolutions honoring a person or event, or
awarding a contract or a grant, or an ordinance
consolidating elections on a specific date, shall not
require review.
b.Actions to Delete. Formal action to delete a policy, code,
ordinance or resolution.
c.Actions Requiring Extraordinary Processes. Certain
ordinances, if re-enacted, would require extraordinary
processes, such as Environmental Impact Reports or Meet and
Confer processes. These would be unnecessarily costly if the
Board wished simply to continue an existing ordinance,
rather than delete or revise it. Accordingly, the review
shall not be applied to land use (general plan, zoning and
subdivision ordinances, etc.) or personnel related
ordinances.
d.Waivers. The Board of Directors may make exceptions to this
policy and by Board action waive application of review to
specific policies, codes, ordinances and resolutions as
deemed appropriate.
