The Chairman has an office in the County Government Center, and the other Supervisors have offices in their districts. Board meetings are conducted according to Board-established rules of procedure. The Board meets an average of two Mondays per month beginning at 9 a.m. in the Board Auditorium of the County Government Center. The meeting time is subject to change. Special meetings may be scheduled on other days, for example, when the Board holds public hearings on the county's budget.
All meetings are open to the public.
Attendees may sit wherever they like in the Board Auditorium, except for the first row of chairs on both sides of the room, which are reserved for the news media and staff making presentations to the Board. Those unable to attend in person can watch the Board meetings telecast live on Fairfax County Cable Television Channel 16 on the day of the meeting or a tape-delayed replay of the full meeting on the following Saturday. Speakers who have not registered in advance will be recognized after pre-registered persons have spoken. Lists of scheduled speakers for specific public hearings are available outside the Board Auditorium. When speakers begin their presentations to the Board, they must state their names and addresses for the record.
