Information and Procedures Concerning the Agenda and Conduct of
the Board of Supervisors Meetings
Meeting Information: Meetings are generally held the second and fourth Tuesday of each month. Meetings start at 9:00 a.m. and are
held in the Board of Supervisors Chambers, County Administration Building, 25 County Center Drive,
Oroville. At the end of each year the Board adopts a meeting schedule for the upcoming year. Meeting dates
can be changed as a result of holidays or other events so please check the meeting calendar to be certain.
Copies of the adopted meeting calendar for the year are available in the County Administrative Office or at
the Clerk of the Board website at www.buttecounty.net/cob.
Agenda Information: The agenda for every meeting of the Board is posted in front of the County Administration Building at least
72 hours before each meeting, and is available by mail subscription, e-mail subscription, or at the Clerk of the
Board website. A copy of the agenda and supporting materials provided to the Board of Supervisors members
to explain each agenda item (excluding documents that are not a public record within the meaning of the Public

Paradise libraries (please do not remove items from these files), and at the Clerk of the Board website. Copies

have been received but not included in the agenda supporting material. Copies of all communications received

signifies that material has been provided to the Board of Supervisors members to explain that item.
Agenda Format and
Meeting Order: The agenda is usually organized into the following areas and meetings generally proceed in the following
order:
1. ConsentAgenda: these are items that are considered routine and are handled by one motion and vote
of the Board. If you wish to discuss any item on the Consent Agenda you can either fill out a
speaker card (located in the back of the board room) and give it to the Clerk of the Board (sitting to
the right of the Board) or, when the Chair asks if there is anything anyone would like to remove from
the ConsentAgenda, stand and approach the podium and request the item be removed. The removed
items are discussed at the end of the Regular Agenda.
2. Regular Agenda: this is where presentations to the Board and items that require full discussion are
heard. Items removed from the Consent Agenda are discussed under this section.
3. Public Hearing and Timed Items: this is where items that are required by law to be heard as a public
hearing are set. This is the section where appeals before the Board are usually discussed. Hearings
may start after the time listed, but will never start before the time listed.
4. Public Comment: this is the area of the agenda where members of the audience may address the
Board on any matter not listed on the agenda. The Board, by law, cannot take action on any matter
not listed on the agenda, but may respond to statements or questions and provide staff direction.
5. Closed Session: the Board is authorized, by law, to meet in a closed session in certain
circumstances. This area ofthe agenda identifies those items that will be discussed during the closed
session.
Public Participation: It is the policy of the Board of Supervisors, and a requirement of the California Open Meetings Law, to allow
members of the public the opportunity to comment on all matters before the Board. Public participation is
limited to matters within the subject matter jurisdiction of the Board pursuant to Government Code Section
