Agenda Format and
Meeting Order: The agenda is usually organized into the following areas and meetings generally proceed in the following
order:
1. Consent Agenda: 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 Consent Agenda, 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 of the 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 54954.3. The Board has adopted policy and procedures to facilitate the meeting
process and conduct. A complete listing of these policies and procedures can be found in the printed
booklet agenda, obtained at the County Administrative Office, or viewed at the Clerk of the Board website.
The Board of Supervisors is also committed to making its proceedings accessible to all citizens.
