Below are the items on the agenda for Tuesday’s regular meeting of the Los Alamos County Council meeting to be held at 6 p.m. in Council Chambers at the Municipal Building, 1000 Central Avenue in Los Alamos.
Attendance at Council meetings is meager at best, with only a handful of members of the public attending in-person or online. Some of the loudest critics of Council actions never attend or make public comment, and it is too late when Council has taken action on an issue or an expenditure for opinions to have any effect.
