Our Board meets regularly on the third Monday of each month. When a need exists, special meetings of the Board are called, and notice is given to local media about these meetings. All of our regular and special Board meetings are open to the public.

You can follow our discussions with a meeting agenda. Agendas are located on the table as you enter the meeting room, or they may be secured from the Treasurer. Each Board meeting follows a fully prepared agenda. Board members receive the agenda as well as background material several days in advance in order to prepare for the meeting.

Each regular meeting of the Board follows a specific order that includes:

The Board addresses action items expediently at each meeting through a consent agenda. The consent agenda allows action items previously reviewed by Board members to be voted on as a group. Therefore, each action item may not be read aloud. A list of all action items subject to a vote of the Board can be found in the written agenda.

Sometimes, usually at the beginning or end of a meeting, the Board leaves to hold a private discussion. These discussions are called executive sessions and are held in accordance with Ohio law. During these discussions, Ohio law permits the Board to discuss personnel matters, property purchases, possible legal action, employee negotiations, security arrangements, and items the law says must be kept confidential. Since Ohio Law says that all of the Board’s voting must be done in public, executive sessions are for discussion purposes only.
