This week MAK flies solo-ish as she recaps the latest board meeting, which covered discussions of State and Federal Legislative priorities, the Hold Correctional Facility's Mental Health Pods, and the negotiations about the Martin County Fair Grounds. MAK also had the opportunity to chat with Jessica Garland, Public Works Environmental Division's Coastal Program Manager, about the work being done to save and strengthen our beaches and waterways.

Consent Agenda: What the heck is it? Multiple items grouped together and folks sometimes ask why there isn’t a discussion about them. Consent agenda items often implement a plan, program or directive that has been previously discussed and approved by the board. And if there’s a commitment of funding, must have been previously included, identified and approved in the CIP and meet the threshold for board approval.
