AGENDA GUIDELINES
ADMINISTRATIVE GUIDELINES FOR BOARD OF SUPERVISORS’ AGENDA ITEMS
Any person may request an audience with the Board of Supervisors at a regular monthly meeting of the Board; however, all Agenda items require sponsorship of a member of the Board. Regular Board meetings are scheduled for the second Thursday of each month. Work sessions, as necessary, are typically held in the morning with the regular Board meeting convening at 6:30 p.m. Public hearings, as necessary, are typically scheduled for 7:00 p.m. as part of the regular Board meeting.
Any person with an agenda matter to be scheduled for a monthly Board meeting should submit the information to the County Administrative Offices ten (10) days in advance of the Board meeting as follows:
- An Agenda item should be accompanied by a complete written narrative exposition of the exact nature of the subject or issue to be considered.
- If specific Board action regarding an Agenda item is contemplated or requested, the recommendation for Board action must be stated clearly and concisely.
- If a resolution, order, petition or ordinance is proposed as an Agenda item for Board consideration, it should be styled in formal and proper language as determined by the County Administrator and County Attorney.
- An Agenda item submission must include the name, address and telephone number of a person who can provide additional information responsive to the inquiries of members of the Board.
- Email Renee Andersen to request a copy of the agenda request or resolution form, or download the agenda form and resolution form from this website. (Click here for Agenda Form Tips or Resolution Form Tips)
- Whenever possible, all Agenda submissions should be forwarded in electronic format to Renee Andersen.
If the Chairman of the Board, or other presiding officer, considers a proposed Agenda item incomplete or improper as to form, the Agenda item may be deleted from the Agenda either before or during the meeting. Matters pertaining to County finances or personnel shall be referred to the Board Finance or Personnel Committee prior to a full Board agenda submission. All materials and correspondence pertinent to Agenda items are considered public information, unless specifically excluded under applicable provisions of the Freedom of Information Act or Privacy Protection Act. Opening presentations for Agenda items will be limited to 15 minutes, unless additional time is granted by the presiding officer.
