Agenda — 110 items

  1. 1 PROGRAM ACCESSIBILITY AND ACCOMMODATIONS: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title II covers the programs, services, activities, and facilities owned or operated by state and local governments like the County of Fresno ("County"). Further, the County promotes equality of opportunity and full participation by all persons, including persons with disabilities. Towards this end, the County works to ensure that it provides meaningful access to people with disabilities to every program, service, benefit, and activity, when viewed in its entirety. Similarly, the County also works to ensure that its operated or owned facilities that are open to the public provide meaningful access to people with disabilities. To help ensure this meaningful access, the County will reasonably modify policies/procedures and provide auxiliary aids/services to persons with disabilities. If, as an attendee or participant at the meeting, you need additional accommodations such as an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter, an assistive listening device, large print material, electronic materials, Braille materials, or taped materials, please contact the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors as soon as possible during office hours at (559) 600-3529, option 4, or ClerkBOS@fresnocountyca.gov. Reasonable requests made at least 48 hours in advance of the meeting will help to ensure accessibility to this meeting. Later requests will be accommodated to the extent reasonably feasible. The Fresno County Board of Supervisors welcomes you to this meeting and encourages your participation. This agenda contains a brief general description of each item to be considered. 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. For those who are present and wish to speak to an individual item, please step to the podium during this time period and state your name for the record.
