County Commission addressing CARES Act, tree protection, comp plan

The Alachua County Board of County Commissioners will update the community on COVID-19 topics, consider an update on tree protection and determine who manages solid waste collection at the Aug. 25th meeting.

The full agenda also includes recommended bid assignment of more than $450,000 in improvements to the Jonesville Park tennis courts.

Subrecipient agreements for Alachua County municipalities have been drawn up and are recommended by staff to be approved as well.
