SET MATTERS - PUBLIC HEARINGS - These items are noticed hearings, work sessions, and items with a previously set time.

 

ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS - These items include significant policy and administrative actions and are classified by program areas.  Immediately after approval of the CONSENT CALENDAR, if the time for hearing SET MATTERS has not arrived, ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS will be considered.

 

Documents for all agenda items are on file with the Clerk of the Board.
