The McHenry County College Board of Trustees held two meetings Thursday evening . The first was a 6:00 p.m. Committee of the Whole, devoted primarily to discussing when and where to hold a retreat for the board and consideration when to hold a Committee of the Whole meeting. Holding a Committee of the Whole was initiated at a time when there was a great deal of business for the board to handle and was too much for only one meeting in a month.
It was also mentioned that holding the Committee of the Whole meeting just before the regular board meeting causes confusion for the public arriving for the regular meeting if the Committee of the Whole is still in session when the public arrives, which is generally the case.
There was also a suggestion that perhaps there is no need to hold a Committee of the Whole meeting every month. There is also the consideration that having a Committee of the Whole meeting on a different date before the Regular meeting gave a period of time to think about the discussion in the Committee of the Whole. This was the practice not too long ago.
The end result is to conduct a Committee of the Whole meeting on the Monday before the regular meeting but only every other month.
