Due to scheduling conflicts, the previously scheduled Saturday, July 20 meeting of the Arlington County Board is being moved to Monday, July 22.
The switch was made to accommodate a retreat hosted by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, which County Board Chairman Libby Garvey and Vice Chairman Takis Karantonis will attend.
As for the July 22 meeting, the public-comment period will begin at 5:30 p.m. with the meeting itself beginning at 6 p.m.
“Because Monday is a work night, which is not the usual meeting time the community is used to for a regular meeting, one exception will be applied to public comment,” county officials said. “Should any public-comment speaker be unable to provide their testimony beginning at 5:30 p.m., the board will allow those speakers to be heard at the conclusion of the meeting.”
Those wishing to speak at the public-comment period still must register prior to 5:15 p.m. on the day of the meeting to be accommodated.
