The RePublic Board of Directors will provide a period for public comment at every meeting where there is an actionable item on the agenda. The public comments must be germane to items on the agenda. The Board will be unable to entertain requests for public comment on matters that have an existing forum for resolution. Examples of such matters include, but are not limited to, appeals of administrative decisions, disability applications and appeals, personnel matters, pending litigation, and any matters deemed confidential under state law. 

 

Individuals who wish to address the Board must complete a Request to Make Public Comments via an email to the Board chair, Micayla Tatum at micayla.tatum@gmail.com. Completion of this request requires the individual's name, contact information, affiliation, and a brief description of the nature of the individual's public comment. Any request to appear before the Board should be received at least 5 calendar days in advance of the next board meeting.
