Addressing the Committee – Committee meetings are meetings of the Board of Directors and will be held in a civil, orderly and respectful manner. All public comments or questions should be addressed to the Committee through the Chair of the Committee. To ensure an orderly meeting and an equal opportunity for each speaker, persons wishing to address the Committee must send a Speaker Request Message through the form of a text message or chat box message to Miguel Aguilar, Executive Assistant to the CEO (805-807-8199). Messages must contain speaker name, contact number or email, and subject matter and sent prior to the beginning of the Public Comment section of the meeting. Members of the public may address the Committee on any matter within the Committee’s jurisdiction and have three (3) minutes each to do so. The total time of each subject will be fifteen (15) minutes, unless additional time is requested by a Committee Member and approved by the Committee.
 
The Committee may not deliberate or take action on items that are not on the agenda. However, the Committee may give direction to staff following a presentation. The Chair is in charge of the meeting and will maintain order, set the time limits for the speakers and the subject matter, and will have the prerogative to remove any person who is disruptive of the Committee meeting. The Finance Committee may place limitations on the total time to be devoted to each topic if it finds that the numbers of speakers would impede the Committee’s ability to conduct its business in a timely manner. The Finance Committee may also allow for additional public comment and questions after reports and presentations if it deems necessary.
