AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Discussion about changing the BOCC Meeting dates for January,
February and September of 2024 due to recent changes in the dates for Florida Keys Day and the FAC
Policy Conference.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
The Board initially discussed and voted on the 2024 BOCC Meeting dates at the October 18, 2023
Meeting. After the meeting, scheduling conflicts arose regarding the January and September the meeting
dates.
January: The Board voted to hold the January BOCC meeting on Wednesday the 24th. We were
informed by Rep. Mooney's office that Florida Keys Day will be held on Thursday, January 25th. Staff
is proposing to hold the BOCC meeting on Wednesday, January 31, 2024 to accommodate FAC
Legislative Day(1/17) and Florida Keys Day(1/25).
February: The Board voted to hold the February BOCC meeting on Thursday, February 15th to avoid
a conflict with Florida Keys Day which had been tentatively set for February 22nd but is now set for
January 25, 2024. Staff is proposing to hold the BOCC meeting on Wednesday, February, 21,
2024, the traditional third Wednesday of the month. This move will provide more time between
meetings as well as more time to prepare the agenda and allow everyone to prepare for the February
meeting.
September: The Board voted to hold the September BOCC meeting on Wednesday, September 18th to
avoid a conflict with the Florida Association of Counties Innovation and Policy Conference which had
been tentatively scheduled for Wednesday September llth and Thursday September 12th. FAC
recently informed staff that the Innovation and Policy Conference will now be held on September 18th
and 19th due to scheduling issues with the hotel. As a result of that change, staff is proposing to hold
the BOCC meeting on Wednesday, September 11th.
