Public comment: The time for public comment will take place at the end of the meeting due to the online nature of our gathering.

We welcome this and consider it seriously, but we cannot respond immediately unless the President or meeting chair decides that an immediate response by the board is needed and can be made during public comment, s/he will refer it to the appropriate person for a brief response.
