October 15, 2026 — Planning, Legislative, and Communications Committee meeting

Agenda

Respectful Dialogue: 

The Commission on Aging encourages a respectful dialogue that supports freedom of speech and values diversity of opinion. The Commission, staff, and members of the public are expected to be civil and courteous, and to refrain from questioning the character or motives of others participating in the meeting. The County requests that speakers not use threatening, profane, or abusive language which disrupts, disturbs, or otherwise impedes the orderly conduct of the Commission meeting. Members of the public may comment on any item on the agenda during Commission consideration of the item. The Commission Chair will invite public comment following discussion and voting items and prior to final Commission deliberations. Each speaker will be allotted time for comment as set by the Commission Chair (generally 2 minutes).
