The Councils will meet again between September 19, 2023, and November 2, 2023, to make recommendations to the Board on the proposed changes. The meetings are open to the public.
Participation is encouraged and you may attend in person or by teleconference. Detailed information will be published prior to each meeting. A teleconference will substitute for an in-person meeting if public health or safety restrictions are in effect.
