PURPOSE: To consider changes to the Board of Commissioners' meeting calendar for 2021 .
BACKGROUND: Pursuant to North Carolina General Statute 153A-40, the Board of County
Commissioners must fix the time and place of its meetings or provide a notice of any change in
the Meeting Schedule.
There is one proposed Meeting Calendar change for 2021, as it relates to Board of
Commissioners' meetings currently scheduled to occur in-person in 2021. Due to current public
health concerns, it is proposed that the Board of Commissioners conduct Virtual Board Meetings
during the months of September and October 2021.
Members of the Board of Commissioners would be participating in the meetings remotely. As in
prior meetings, members of the public would be able to view and listen to the meeting via online
streaming video or on Spectrum Cable TV. The meetings would be streamed in real-time on the
County's website for public viewing/listening, real-time broadcast on Spectrum Cable, and video-
recorded for future television broadcast and reference on the County's website.
