BCC Meeting Agenda

See the e-agenda of the next Board of County Commissioner’s (BCC) Meeting. The e-agenda for each BCC meeting is usually available online on the Thursday before the meeting.

ATTENTION: TEMPORARY PUBLIC COMMENT PROCEDURES IN LIGHT OF COVID-19

In an effort to comply with CDC Social Distancing Guidelines and keep our citizens safe, the Orange County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) will conduct meetings virtually until further notice. Orange County remains committed, however, to providing alternative platforms for the citizens to have the opportunity to submit their public comment.

Please email your comment to Public.Comment@OCFL.net before 5 PM the day before the BCC meeting. Please include your name, address, phone number and the topic of your public comment in the email. At the beginning of public comment period, Orange County staff will read your submission and add it to the public record. Please note emails that extend beyond the set time limit will not be read in their entirety. The citizen’s entire email however will be entered into the public record.

Citizens interested in participating in the “Public Comment” portion of the BCC meeting in person may do so in a virtual setting on the first floor of the County Administration Building. Social distancing guidelines will be in place to facilitate this option. Citizens who choose this option are encouraged to pre-register for public comment by completing a Board Appearance Request Form before 5 PM the day before the BCC meeting.

Please note that the time allocated to each individual for public comment (via email or in person) shall be at the sole discretion of the Mayor and may be reduced from the normal 3 minutes based on the number of speakers.

To watch Orange TV’s live stream of the BCC meeting go to www.ocfl.net/OrangeTV, or Orange TV (Channel 488 on Spectrum (formerly Bright House), Channel 9 on Comcast, 1081 Century Link Prism TV, and 10.2 Digital Over the Air).

Orange County Government reserves the right to modify, amend, or discontinue these temporary procedures for public comment, with or without notice, in order to ensure compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations; to rectify technological or logistical difficulties; or to ensure the health, safety and welfare of the public.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this challenging time. We will get through this together.
