Saline County Commissioners have a busy agenda for Tuesday morning, including a KDOT agreement, a rural fire district board appointment, a warning siren, and executive session, and multiple updates and budget requests.
The meeting is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday in room 107 of the City-County Building. A time for public comment is scheduled near the beginning of the meeting.
Saline County noted on the agenda for the meeting that as it transitions back to regular operations while maintaining social distancing to prevent the spread of COVID-19, there will be limited public seating for the meeting. Up to 10 members of the public will be accommodated on a first-come, first-seated basis in overflow seating adjacent to the commission meeting room and up to two members of the public at a time will be permitted to line up to provide public comment.
You also can view county commission meetings on Salina Media Connection, either via Cox Cable Channel 20 or online at www.salinatv.org.
In addition, interested persons can provide public comment by dialing (785) 621-0800, entering participant code 782956 followed by #, and then dialing *9 to alert the moderator that they wish to comment. Although commissioners will be able to hear comments, the public may have difficulty hearing commission business through the telephone bridge.
