Upon careful review of the Commissioner’s calendars, considering other routine Board and committee meetings, an additional meeting can be accommodated on Mondays, before the 2nd Board meeting of each month, with exceptions for January and July because of known conflicts.
The dates and times proposed throughout 2025 are as follows:

Monday, February 17th at 1:30 p.m. Monday, August 18th at 1:30 p.m.

1. Meeting to be scheduled from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. because of known case load.
