Executive Summary:
(a) This item is being submitted as an “extra” agenda item. The justification for this request to consider an item not on the posted agenda is as follows:
This item came to my attention subsequent to the posting of the current agenda and there is a need to take action before the next agenda.
(b) On January 25, 2023, your Board received County Counsel Anita Grant’s intention to retire on March 24, 2023.
