Advisory board work session

Supported the board review, suggested standing boards act as the commission's cabinet while ad hoc groups handle urgent issues, and pitched a 'book club' model where boards watch staff presentations on video in advance.

Delivered a seven-point list: eliminate one-body-one-voice, allow joint meetings, fix liaison roles, shift staff from managing boards to supporting them, engage boards earlier, train on meeting procedure, and bar conflicted members from boards.

Argued 'democracy dies in consensus,' asked for minority opinions to be preserved, floated public office hours for boards, and raised a TIF board conflict-of-interest complaint.
