In other business, Commissioners may also change their meeting structure later this month and through July with the start of budget season.

Schuele says the proposal is currently to hold meetings on Tuesday’s only instead of Monday and Wednesday afternoons.

The meetings would consist of a work session with no planned action from 10 until Noon and a regular meeting from one until two or three where action items can take place.

A firm date on any changes hasn’t been set.
