The board will meet at 5:30 p.m. in Stonecrest, where they will receive a transportation briefing from MARTA and discuss mid-year budget adjustments that CEO Michael Thurmond is recommending. Audience members can also to sign up to speak during the public comment portion of the meeting, which begins at 6:30 p.m.

Usually, these “committee of the whole” meetings are held on the first and third Tuesday of each month at 9 a.m. in downtown Decatur. The commission’s business meetings  where votes are taken are held at the same time and location on second and fourth Tuesdays.

Roughly once a quarter, the commission moves a “committee of the whole” meeting to the evening and in various locations around the county to allow for more public access.
