Agendas - Meetings - Minutes
The Board of Supervisors normally meets in informal sessions on Monday and Tuesday mornings at 9am. Formal meetings are normally held on Wednesday mornings at 10am.
Formal meetings occur when public hearings are held and when items requiring formal Board action are scheduled.
Board of Supervisors minutes are listed by date. Official minutes are included in the listing as they are approved by the Board. This means the official minutes are never posted the same day they are taken, e.g., minutes taken on a Wednesday may not be posted until the following Tuesday or later.
Starting at 5pm on November 23, 2009, the Board of Supervisors authorized the Auditor to record the audio of the Board's meetings. The Auditor will make best efforts to record the minutes and post them on the internet for the public to download and play. The audio recordings of the meetings are considered to be UNOFFICIAL minutes. They will likely never be 100% transcribed and they are not intended to be formally approved by the Board.

NOTE: The Board of Supervisors' bulletin board located at Linn County West (formerly Steve & Barry's) - 2500 Edgewood Road SW - Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is the official posting site for meeting agendas. Agendas are generally posted 24 hours prior to the meeting.
