Votes

Every agenda item with a recorded vote, and a search of the County’s staff reports. Contested items are shown unless you search or choose otherwise; most Board votes are unanimous.

Search reads each file’s title and the County’s staff report. All the words must appear; put a phrase in “quotation marks”. Word endings are ignored, so evict finds eviction. A word in capitals is taken as an acronym: ICE will not find an ice rink.
