County Board of Supervisor’s Meeting Format Draws Frustration as Showdown Nears
Yolo CountyAs the city of Davis and Yolo County brace for a potential showdown on Tuesday over three proposed “special study areas” on the Davis periphery which have been proposed for inclusion in the Yolo County General Plan Update, one side issue that has angered many has been the scheduling format that has been laid out by the Yolo County Board of Supervisors, or more to the point, the lack of a scheduling format.
The way things stand now, the board is prepared to hear each of the localities’ plan individually and make a determination as to what to do on staff recommendations. The meeting is set to start at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, July 17, 2007. It would then run until lunch and break. Then the board would take up regular business at 1:30 until they concluded that business. Upon completion of that business, they would resume discussion on the General Plan Update.
