Addressing the Board – Board meetings are public meetings of the Board of Directors, and will be held in a civil, orderly and respectful manner. To assure an orderly meeting and an equal opportunity for each speaker, persons wishing to address the Board should log into the meeting via the link above. If, during a virtual meeting, and during the public comment periods, a member of the public wishes to address the Board of Directors, they can do so by using the “raise hand” function in Zoom. If, during an in-person meeting, a member of the public wishes to address the Board of Directors, they can do so by submitting a speaker card to the board representative, at any time before or during the public comment period. Members of the public may address the Board on any matter within the Board’s jurisdiction and on agenda items and shall have three (3) minutes each to do so. The total time for public comment (for each of closed-session and open session comment) will be fifteen (15) minutes, unless additional time is requested by a Board Member and approved by the Board.
The Board may not deliberate or take action on items that are not on the agenda. However, the Board may give direction to staff following a presentation. The Chairperson is in charge of the meeting and will maintain order, set the time limits for the speakers and the subject matter, and will have the prerogative to remove any person who is unreasonably disruptive of the Board meeting. The Board of Directors may place limitations on the total time to be devoted to public comment if it finds that the numbers of speakers would impede the Board’s ability to conduct its business in a timely manner.
Persons with Disabilities – Upon request, this agenda will be made available in appropriate alternative formats to persons with disabilities, as required by Section 202 of the American Disabilities Act of 1990. Any individual needing special accommodations should directly contact the main office at least 72 hours before the meeting.
