Meeting Information
:Meetings are generally held the second and fourth Tuesday of each month. Meetings start at 9:00 a.m. and

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

2.Regular Agenda: this is where presentations to the Board and items that require full discussion are

Board on any matter not listed on the agenda. The Board, by law, cannot take action on any matter

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
