On Monday afternoon there is the Rural Transit Advisory Group meeting. The Rural Transit Advisory Group deals with issues with rural public transportation in the county. More information including agendas available here. There's a recent quarterly report for anyone who wants to dive into their overview.   

On Monday evening there is the Nursing Home Board of Directors meeting at it's new 6:30pm time (agenda here and addendum here). From the previous month's minutes in this month's agenda packet you can see this is more of a managerial board discussing financials and marketing more than policy or politics.

There is a County Board Committee of the Whole meeting this Tuesday. Agenda here. More information on what that is and how to attend here.

The Zoning Board of Appeals meeting Thursday night may have drama spill over from last time over concerns with Solar Farm noise and proximity to homes. WAND had an article about the concerns that had a large public turnout to the last meeting (upcoming agenda here). Board page here


The full 2018 schedule is on the Calendar page and the County page. The regular County Board meetings are back to Thursdays until next holiday season.
