Each individual will be limited to three minutes during the public comment segment of the meeting to speak on the issue(s) indicated on the sign-up form. Individuals shall be called to speak to the board in the order they appear on the sign-up form.

Once the 30-minute segment for public comment has been exhausted, the board will not hear further comments during the meeting. If multiple members of an organization wish to provide public expression, membership of that group may be asked to select one person to comment. Public criticism of individual staff members or individual board members is prohibited.
