Occasionally the Board of County Commissioners has to meet on very short notice to address urgent legal matters solely with their legal counsel. Notice for these open meetings held for the purpose of voting to enter into closed session may have to be given on short notice. If so, that notice will be posted on this website and will be provided to local media outlets.

The Commissioners hold Public Comment Sessions twice a month and those can be found at CCGTV.
