Work Session Meeting Format

Unless otherwise announced, BOMA Work Sessions occur on the first Mondays of each month at 6:00 p.m. At work sessions, items and issues for consideration by the BOMA for the current month's meeting are brought forward and discussed. Unless previously announced, there is no voting that takes place at a work session. A work session is different from a public hearing: in a work session, no testimony on the record is taken from the public, although the public is invited to attend the meeting and provide comment when recognized by the chair (the Mayor).
