Question:
I
hear the county is considering building a road near my neighborhood which
will significantly increase traffic. I would like to attend the County
Commission meeting when this matter gets discussed. How can I find out
the Commission's agenda?
Answer:
It is the
duty of the Clerk's office to provide public notice of the County Commission's
agenda. The Clerk is also responsible for taking and recording the minutes
of the County Commission meetings. In larger counties which have an Administrator,
he or she may be the one to handle this duty. In smaller counties, the
Clerk may attend the meetings him or herself and act as secretary. At
the meetings, the Clerk or Administrator also handles speaker requests
cards, and receives documents that need to go into the records.
Varying from county to county, this information may be accessed on a website, in a local paper, on a local TV station, or directly from the Clerk's office.
Contact your local
Clerk's office if you want to know the best way to get information about
your Board or County Commissioner meetings.
