SUBMITTED BY: Bernice E. Seidel, Clerk of the Board of Supervisors
SUBJECT: Quarterly Report - Administrative Policy No. 75
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Receive and file Community Outreach Expenditures which do not exceed $1,500, from March 11 through June 30, 2025, approved by County Counsel per Administrative Policy No. 75.
