To help ensure this meaningful access, the County will reasonably modify policies/procedures and provide auxiliary aids/services to persons with disabilities.

The number of the item being heard is indicated on the Clerk’s desk. Please see note below regarding consent agenda items. The Chairman will call for public testimony as each item is heard.
