All meetings of the Board and Board-appointed committees are open to the public.

 

In order for the Board to fulfill its obligation to complete the planned agenda in an effective and efficient fashion, a maximum of 30 minutes of public participation may be permitted at each meeting.

 

Each person addressing the Board shall give his/her name and address. If several people wish to speak, each person is allotted three minutes until the total time of 30 minutes is used. During that period, no person may speak twice until all who desire to speak have had the opportunity to do so. Persons desiring more time should follow the procedure of the Board to be placed on the regular agenda. The maximum amount of time an individual will be permitted to address the Board shall not exceed five minutes. The period of public participation may be extended by a vote of the majority of the Board, present and voting.

 

Agendas are available to all those who attend Board meetings. The section on the agenda for public participation shall be indicated.
