Committee amends county code to set county board start time to 7:00 p.m.
Summary
After debate about accessibility for seniors and working parents, the governance committee amended a proposed change and approved setting regular county board meetings to 7:00 p.m.; staff said the change would take effect upon publication after the required readings.
The committee voted to amend Chapter 2.023 to set regular county board meeting start time to 7:00 p.m., following discussion about accessibility for older residents versus working parents and committee schedules.
Supervisor Nudo introduced background noting outreach from older residents who asked for earlier start times; other supervisors raised concerns that moving meetings too early could disadvantage working parents and potential candidates who need evening accessibility. A compromise amendment to change the start time to 7:00 p.m. was offered and accepted. "I don't have a a problem with 07:00. I think it's a good, compromise," Supervisor Nudo said during discussion.
Staff clarified that the change would require two readings and generally would take effect upon publication unless the board moved to suspend the rules. The committee voted to approve the amended resolution and will forward the change to the full county board for subsequent action and scheduling details.
