Establishes policy
Determines annual budget allocations
Approves contracts for public improvement projects
and other specialized services
Conducts public hearings on matters such as zoning
appeals and planning
Makes an appointment to various boards and commissions.
Legislative and executive activities of the Board
are performed at public meetings. Certain personnel
and legal matters are discussed in closed sessions.
Agendas are usually available the Wednesday morning before regular Tuesday meetings.
Supplemental agendas with additional items are usually available late Friday afternoon.
