Key Items on the Agenda
Board of Health Vacancy
Public Health is scheduled to discuss a vacancy on the Board of Health, with possible action by the Supervisors.
The agenda does not specify a proposed replacement, appointment, or other recommended action, so the precise action the Board may consider is not stated in the packet.
Tax Abatement
The County Treasurer is scheduled to discuss an abatement of taxes, with possible action.
The agenda does not identify the taxpayer, property, amount, or reason for the proposed abatement. Those details are therefore not available from the agenda portion of the packet.
Rural Recycling Cameras
The IT Director is scheduled to discuss rural recycling cameras, with possible action.
The agenda does not describe the proposed camera system, locations, cost, funding source, or specific decision that may come before the Board.
