What : Guilford County commissioners meeting
When : Thursday 5:30 p.m.
Where : Old County Courthouse, 301 W. Market St., Greensboro
On TV: Cable channel 13 in Greensboro and other areas of Guilford County outside High Point; cable channel 8 in High Point.

What's going on? In the only meeting commissioners have this month, the board will handle housekeeping-type business by choosing whether to accept a grant for hand-held translators for the sheriff's office, allowing an architect to design the new social services building for High Point, approving money for a new mobile command center for the Guilford County Sheriff's Office and deciding whether to match Forsyth County's funding level to give $400,000 to Triad Park, among other issues.
There could be some discussion on the construction method the board chose to build the $115 million county jail, which occurred during a work session in which Democrats outnumbered Republicans that were present by a margin of 6 to 1. Though it's an 11-member board, not all members show up at work sessions.

Want to be heard? Speakers can address the board on nonagenda items regarding county business for three minutes at the start of the meeting. A sign up sheet will be available near the lectern. Full agenda and live video.
What's next? The board is likely to only have one more meeting in September, and will also set a work session date.
