*Meetings begin promptly at the time posted and will not last for more than four (4) hours. The Board normally will take a short break after 1½ to 2 hours of hearings to reassess the agenda and their ability to reach the remaining items pending before it.  The Board will not entertain/begin a new petition after 10:00 p.m. and will conclude all hearings at 10:30 p.m. therefore some petitions cannot be heard due to these time constraints and will be continued to the next regular meeting date.
