  1. Attached is a interested parties list. The District historically held meetings at the local community centers in Chalfant and Benton, rotating each month (see map). When Covid-19 hit in March of 2020, these centers were closed due to state rules. After 4 months with no meetings, the District purchased a Zoom account and began holding meetings through that service. The Zoom meetings have been well attended. The District allows public comments at the beginning and end of each meeting and the public is encouraged to raise their hands during regular agenda items. Posting of agendas is also done on the county and district websites, and local bulletin boards in the District. It is the District's intention to hold in person meetings when restrictions for Covid-19 are lifted. We encourage public participation in the District meetings.
