Reorganization and election of chair and vice chair
What the county recorded
This item is not from the published agenda
It is a stretch of the recording that this archive identified as a separate matter — a call to order, a recess, or something taken up that the agenda does not list. There is no official title, no staff recommendation and no disposition, because the county never recorded one. Everything below is inferred.

Is if the Chair and Vice Chair are gone, you have delegation So you may get sporadic phone calls saying quick from the clerk, can you come to the office to sign paperwork? So it actually has a little something to
it.
