The notated public hearing is quasi-judicial in nature. As such, any verbal or written  
communication with a member of the Board of County Commissioners prior to today’s  
quasi-judicial hearing should be disclosed on the record or made a part of the record  
during the public hearing by or on behalf of the party who communicated with the Board  
member to allow any interested party an opportunity to inquire about or respond to such  
communication. Failure to disclose any such communication may place the party who  
ultimately prevails at the quasi-judicial hearing at risk of having the Board’s decision  
overturned in a court of law due to prejudice against the party who was not privy to the  
ex parte communication.  
Information regarding meetings held at the County Administration Building between any  
member of the Board and an outside party may be obtained at
