Kings Board of Supervisors Tuesday morning meetings to be teleconferenced

Meetings are currently held on Tuesday at 9 a.m.

Pursuant to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s executive orders, and to maintain the orderly conduct of the meeting, Kings County will allow the Board of Supervisors, Kings County staff, and interested members of the public to attend the meeting telephonically, or by the Internet, and to participate in the meeting to the same extent as if they were present in the Board’s chambers. 

Members of the public who choose to attend the meeting virtually, using certain digital or landline phones, may listen to the audio broadcast of the meeting, but will not be able to comment during the meeting.  Only those members of the public who cannot participate virtually, due to a need for special accommodation (vision, hearing, etc.), may attend the meeting in the Board’s chambers where efforts will be made to allow adequate social distancing and to ensure that exposed surfaces are sanitized. No more than 10 individuals will be allowed in the Board Chambers at a time.

To secure the accommodation consistent with the American’s with Disabilities Act and to attend in person, interested parties will need to contact the  Board of Supervisors’ Clerk as directed below no later than 8:30 a.m. the morning of the meeting.

Members of the public who wish to participate in the meeting can do so one of three ways: Via the worldwide web; by telephone; or by postal or electronic mail.  Members of the public who participate via their computers or through the WebEx app may provide public comment at the meeting by using the “Raise Your Hand” function. Public comment will be limited to two minutes during the “Unscheduled Appearances” section of the meeting.

Public comment will not be available via phone. All others who wish to submit comments may only do so as outlined below.
