Comments from the public are welcome at this time. You may present your comment during the meeting or beforehand, by contacting Ms. Shepard and relaying the comment to her.

The Board may not deliberate on, or take any action regarding, a matter raised during the public comments sessions, unless the matter itself has already been specifically included on the agenda as an “Action” Item (and then, only at the time such Item is heard). The Board President will limit public comment to 3 to 5 minutes per person to ensure that all participants may speak and the Agenda is not unduly delayed, subject to any brief extension granted by the Board President in his/her sole discretion. No restrictions apply based on the speaker’s viewpoints.
