There's a regular County Board meeting this week, although I'm not seeing anything too contentious on the agenda. It can be easy to miss something in the legalese, so I'll keep an ear out. A pro-tip to figuring out "what the heck is that?" on these agendas is to go the full agenda packet on the County Board's meeting page. There the agenda has page references to the additional paperwork below that shows that, for example, the "purchases not following purchases policy" was just an unanticipated expense for a floor scrubber and some nursing home medical supplies.
The Mental Health Board is electing it's chair and vice-chair for the new year according to its agenda, so I might try to see what these meetings are like and report back about what one can expect (that's the plan anyway).
I'm behind on the Committee of the Whole write up, but the special session was where most of the action was last week with the Nursing Home bidding process getting initial approval.
The 2018 schedule is up on the Calendar page and the County page. The regular County Board meetings are back to Thursdays until next holiday season.
