Grant (CDBG) Program - approval is requested for a cash

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 Records Act) are available for your review at the County Administrative
Office, the Chico, Oroville, and Paradise libraries (please do not remove items from these files), and at the
Clerk of the Board website. Copies of supporting materials can be made for you at a charge to cover costs.
The list of communications included with the agenda packages is not comprehensive. Additional
communications to the Board of Supervisors may have been received but not included in the agenda
supporting material. Copies of all communications received by the Board of Supervisors (excluding
documents that are not a public record within the meaning of the Public Records Act) are available at the
Administrative Office upon request. An (*) appearing before an agenda item 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. 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.
