Protocol for Addressing the Board During Board Meetings

The Board sets aside a portion of each agenda to hear from citizens on items of general concern. In compliance with the Open Meeting Law, the Board does not discuss nor take action on general issues that are raised during this portion of the meeting agenda. When necessary, these will be taken under advisement and placed on a subsequent agenda.

The Board President may also recognize a member of the audience to be questioned or to speak on a specific item that has been scheduled to appear on the agenda.
