The five-members of the Greene County Board of Supervisors begin their meeting with a work session at 4:30 p.m. with the Tourism Council about how funds raised through the transient occupancy tax will be spent. (meeting agenda)

Supervisors will go into a closed session at 5:30 p.m. and reopen the meeting at 6:30 p.m. 

The consent agenda has several items worth a review:
