body
BACKGROUND:
On February 24, 2026, the Board adopted the Board of Supervisors Agenda Builder to support more intentional planning and transparency of Board meeting agendas. The Agenda Builder is designed to provide a high-level, forward-looking framework that identifies known and recurring agenda items, such as budget hearings, Board retreats, quarterly legislative updates, and other regular Board activities, while also creating space to plan study sessions and policy discussions in a more deliberate and transparent manner that prioritizes the most urgent issues. This tool is intended to provide for less impacted agendas and to assist staff in balancing regular, required items with emerging issues and strategic priorities.
DISCUSSION:
Board members and the Chief Executive Officer have requested study sessions which have been added to the Agenda Builder. The Board President and Chief Executive Officer reviewed the requests and have proposed dates for some study sessions. The Board may discuss prioritizing the remaining unscheduled study sessions:

COMMUNITY IMPACT:
A more structured and predictable agenda-setting process benefits the community by improving access, transparency, and engagement in County decision-making. By pacing complex or high priority items and planning study sessions in advance, the Board can provide the public with clearer notice, more focused discussions, and greater opportunity for meaningful input. This approach also helps ensure that community priorities are addressed thoughtfully rather than reactively.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with approving the study session requests and proposed dates. However, improved planning and coordination of Board agendas may result in more efficient use of staff time and resources by reducing duplication, last-minute preparation, and meeting overruns.
