Tuesday, March 11, 2025

9:00 AM or as soon thereafter as may be heard

The Board welcomes you to its meetings which are regularly scheduled for Tuesday at 9:00 a.m., or as soon thereafter as may be possible, in the Board of Supervisors Chambers on the second floor of the Shasta County Administration Center, 1450 Court Street, Suite 263, Redding, California. Your interest is encouraged and appreciated.

The agenda is divided into two sections: CONSENT CALENDAR: These matters include routine financial and administrative actions and are usually approved by a single majority vote. REGULAR CALENDAR: These items include significant financial, policy, and administrative actions and are classified by program areas. The regular calendar also includes “Scheduled Hearings,” which are noticed and public hearing, and any items not on the consent calendar.

TO ADDRESS THE BOARD: The Board provides the members of the public with a Public Comment‑Open Time period, where the public may directly address the Board on any matter not listed on the agenda that is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the IHSS Public Authority Governing Board or on any agenda item listed on the Consent Calendar. In addition, members of the public may also comment on any item on the Regular Calendar before or during the Board’s consideration of the item. Members of the public may also address matters scheduled for public hearings at the time such public hearings are opened for comment. Pursuant to the Brown Act (Govt. Code section 54950, et seq.), Board action or discussion cannot be taken on non-agenda matters, but the Board may briefly respond to statements or questions and, if deemed necessary, refer to the subject matter to the appropriate department for follow-up and/or to schedule the matter on a subsequent Board Agenda.

When addressing the Board in the Board Room, please approach the rostrum, and after receiving recognition from the Chair, give your comments.

Each speaker is allocated up to three minutes to speak unless the Chair determines that all speakers will be allowed a shorter or longer period of time. Comments should be limited to matters within the subject matter jurisdiction of the Board.
