The full story

A board member used the floor near the end of the session to press for temporary deactivation of the county’s Flock surveillance cameras and said they plan to introduce legislation to remove them. The supervisor asked the board to "request the sheriff voluntarily turn them off" pending further review. Corporation Counsel and the chair responded that the board cannot take action on matters not properly noticed on the agenda without risking a violation of the open-meetings law. No formal action or advisory request was passed at the meeting.
