Public Comment at Board Meetings
It is the intent of the Board and its fiduciary responsibility to conduct business in an efficient and professional manner. Therefore, as the Board conducts business in its monthly meeting, it must refrain from engaging in discussion.
The Board welcomes public input and any individuals in attendance is invited to make comment during the “Open Comment” section of the agenda. All comments will be included in the official minutes of the meeting.
Each speaker is allowed three minutes, unless otherwise specified by the Chair (individuals shall not yield minutes to others). Prior to speaking to the board, individuals/groups are expected to first follow the “problem resolution” pathway as outlined in the CIS Handbook.
