Comments received within the window of the board meeting whether read or not, will be shared with the board and noted in the minutes.
Individual commenters are limited to a single comment per agenda item.
Public comments will be accepted prior to, and during the board meeting, subject to limitations discussed here.
Comments may be read in the order received and will be accepted up to the point each agenda item is heard, acted upon or when the Board President has completed the call for public comment on that agenda item.
Comments submitted during the board meeting but after the agenda item has been called for a vote, or has already been completed will not be read publicly, but may be entered into the record.
Comments should be limited to 400 words or less, and will need to be readable within the time allocated for each comment. These presentations are limited to no more than 15 minutes total and 3 minutes per person. A full comment may not be read if the length of time to read the comment exceeds the designated limit.
