Search Agenda Items

Search legislative items, such as ordinances, resolutions, claims, board reports, and board orders. You can search for items in upcoming or past meetings. You can search by the file number, by the agenda date, or for words within the title of the item.

Calendar

Learn about upcoming and past meetings for the official meeting bodies, including the Board of Supervisors. Some meeting bodies provide online agendas and agenda packets before the meeting. Please note agenda packets can be large as they contain supplemental attachments for each agenda item.

To view a live broadcast of an in-progress meeting, you can click on the “In Progress” link in the Video column for that meeting. NOT all Board and Commission meetings are video or audio recorded.

Please note that the majority of the Boards and Commissions consist of community volunteers who meet on an as-needed basis. While the County encourages the members to provide this public access, regularly posted agendas and minutes may not always be available.
