You must register for the event (note you do not need to enter your legal name to participate).  Once registered, you can attend the meeting through the online link, or by telephone (a call-in number and audio PIN will be provided after you register and prior to the meeting). 

PUBLIC COMMENTS
 
If you would like to make a public comment during the Public Comment section or during an agenda item, you may do so in two ways:  (1) click the "Raise Hand" icon on the control panel while in virtual attendance; or (2) email your comment to comment@ecrchs.net and your comment will be read on the record.  

 

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING SENDING IN A WRITTEN COMMENT: 

 

For anyone who wishes to send in a written comment to be read during Public Comments, you are strongly encouraged to email your comment to the aforementioned email address at least one (1) hour prior to the Official Board Meeting start time (e.g., by no later than 3:30 p.m. for a 4:30 p.m. Board Meeting start time).  Otherwise, there is no guarantee that your comment will be viewed and read during Public Comments.  If your written comment is received and is to be read on the record, your name and title/role will also be read on the record.  If you wish to not have your name read on the record, please indicate so in your email.

In order to conduct an orderly meeting, all members of the public will be placed on mute during the Board meeting, except when making a public comment.  Please also note that those who elect to participate in the meeting through the call-in number will not have the option of being unmuted to speak during the public comments portion of the meeting.

The Public Comments agenda item is set aside for members of the audience to raise issues that are not specifically on the agenda. However, due to public meeting laws, the Board can only listen to your issue, not respond or take action.  The Board may give direction to staff to respond to your concern or you may be offered the option of returning with a citizen-requested item.  These presentations are limited to three (3) minutes and total time allotted to non-agenda items will not exceed thirty (30) minutes.  A member of the public who requires the use of a translator, in order to receive the same opportunity as others to directly address the Board, shall have twice the allotted time to speak.  When addressing the Board, speakers are requested to adhere to the time limits set forth.  In order to maintain allotted time limits, the Board Chair may modify speaker time allocations or the total amount of allotted time for an item.

Consent Agenda: All matters listed under the consent agenda are considered by the Board to be routine and will be approved/enacted by the Board in one motion in the form listed below.  Unless specifically requested by a Board member for further discussion or removed from the agenda, there will be no discussion of these items prior to the Board votes on them.  The Executive Director recommends approval of all consent agenda items.

In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and upon request, El Camino Real Alliance may furnish reasonable auxiliary aids and services to qualified individuals with disabilities. Requests for disability related modifications or accommodations shall be made 24 hours prior to the meeting to David Hussey, in person, by email at comment@ecrchs.net, or by calling (818) 595-7500.
