In order to assist the Board in its orderly conduct of the meeting, individuals wishing to be heard by the Board shall have the opportunity to state their name, address, and the topic they wish to speak to, either in writing at the beginning of the meeting, and/or verbally at the time the topic is addressed on the agenda, and before the Board takes action on such item. Individuals, after identifying themselves, will address the Board and proceed to make their comments as briefly as the subject permits.
