Unknown 11:28

distribute the schedule to the commissioners I believe either earlier this week or late last week I will note that we will have to change our, well, let's go over November 1st. November 26th, the public hearing that month, that is the week of Thanksgiving. Staff doesn't, anticipate not being there. It is entirely up to the discretion of the commission if they wanted to change it. It is two days before Thanksgiving, but the county isn't closed.

Michelle Frank 12:08

The schools are closed Wednesday though so a lot of people leave town so whether that's public it's a public hearing right not a work session It is

Unknown 12:17

we had the public hearing its normal date this last November because it was the week after Thanksgiving so I would just say like staff doesn't assume that it's going to get changed just because it's a holiday week we're prepared to be here because again the county is open but i will leave that up to the commission to decide whether you would want to change that i think one november we did it on a maybe we did it on the monday that week
