Board sets regular meetings for Tuesdays at 8:15 a.m.; some supervisors push to keep monthly evening option

The board approved a motion to set its regular meeting schedule for every Tuesday at 8:15 a.m. for 2026. The motion passed following a roll call despite objections from supervisors who said evening meetings — held monthly on the first Tuesday — improved public access for residents who work during weekday mornings.

One supervisor argued that evening meetings better serve the public, saying, “I would rather be doing other things at six o’clock at night, but I think it's beneficial for the community for us to have them,” noting many residents work daytime hours. Other supervisors said turnout at evening meetings has fallen and that a consistent weekly morning schedule better supports staff workflow and county business.
