As you probably know by now, this is the LAST EVER CPO 1 meeting. The county is taking over the system and future meetings will only address issues of county-wide impact. There will only be four groups, one for each Commissioner District. We may learn more at the Commissioners’ Work Session on March 17. Visit this page and click on the meeting date on the right side to watch live or view the recording.

CPO leaders are still discussing if there’s a way to continue to provide information and connection to our neighbors. Our Facebook Group is a good place to discuss current issues and get timely updates.
