virtual business meetings during the months of November and December 2021. Members of
the Board of Commissioners would participate in the business 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.
It is also proposed that the virtual Business meeting scheduled for November 2, 2021 be
rescheduled to November 4, 2021 .
Additionally, it is proposed that the November 11, 2021 work session scheduled to take place
at the Southern Human Services Center be relocated to the Whitted Building at 300 W. Tryon
St. in Hillsborough. The work session would be conducted in-person and attendees would be
required to wear masks and to remain socially distanced from others.
