Jane's Committee Assignments for 2010

The Monterey County Health Department is offering the H1N1 flu vaccine free to people of all ages on a first come, first serve basis at the Alisal Health Center and Seaside Family Health Center. If your personal doctor is not able to provide the vaccine, you may want to visit your local Health Center to get vaccinated today.

For more information call the Flu Line at 796-1280.

Last year, Jane asked for complete Board Agendas to be made available online. Since that website (http://publicagendas.co.monterey.ca.us/) went live last April, the feedback has been fantastic. This year Jane requested that the agenda packets for all of the Board sub-committees be made available online. The Clerk of the Board tackled the challenge and is now hosting a website for each Board sub-committee that includes a list of meeting dates, the agenda packets, the staff contact, and other relevant information about each sub-committee.

The public is welcome to attend these meetings. You can also follow the committees' actions by requesting to be aded to the distribution list.
