The agenda is divided into two sections: CONSENT CALENDAR: These matters include routine financial and administrative actions and are usually approved by a single majority vote. REGULAR CALENDAR: These items include significant financial, policy, and administrative actions and are classified by program areas. The regular calendar also includes "Scheduled Hearings," which are noticed and public hearings, and any items not on the consent calendar.


TO ADDRESS THE BOARD:  The Board of Supervisors provides the members of the public with a Public Comment-Open Time period, where the public may directly address the Board on any agenda item on the regular calendar and on the consent calendar and may also address the Board on any matter not listed on the agenda that is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the Board of Supervisors.  In addition, members of the public may also comment on any item on the consent calendar before the Board's consideration of the item and  may also comment on any item on the regular calendar before or during the Board's consideration of the item.  Members of the public may also address matters scheduled for public hearings at the time such public hearings are opened for comment.  Pursuant to the Brown Act (Govt. Code section 54950, et seq.), Board action or discussion cannot be taken on non-agenda matters, but the Board may briefly respond to statements or questions and, if deemed necessary, refer the subject matter to the appropriate department for follow-up and/or to schedule the matter on a subsequent Board Agenda.
