Subject: Declaration request
Board members—
I have been informed by the District 3 office that a gentleman contacted Supervisor Kirk "for a meeting to discuss the
Jefferson State Declaration that will be on the October 22 agenda." To date, our office has not received a formal
request to include this item on a future Board agenda, therefore it is not scheduled for the October 22 agenda.
For your information - Whenever I receive an inquiry from a member of the public on how he/she can have a formal
item placed on the Board's agenda, I inform the individual of a few different options:
1) Submit a written request to the CAO/COB that indicates the subject matter and the action that will be
requested of the Board. The CAO then reviews the request to determine if the matter is appropriate to
include on an agenda;
2) Address the Board during the Public Comment section of a Board meeting to request the Board direct staff
to include the item on a future agenda; or
3) Contact a Board member directly and request that he or she direct the CAO/COB to include on an agenda.
