Staff presented the Board options of removing some meetings that are
being accomplished in other ways and to allow them an opportunity to
have other meetings during that time. Staff proposed that after a
year and a half of no Agenda Study Sessions or Monday Morning 10-
minute Department Head meetings, they could use that time for other
meetings and it would allow for the public to be a part (listening

Board directed Staff to set a Public Hearing to formally remove both
proposed meetings from County Code.
