5. Hearing of Citizens
Description:
Note: All public bodies, during the course of a business meeting, must provide an opportunity for public comment. Board members may limit the public comments to items listed on the agenda (not usually necessary) and a certain amount of time for each individual comment (generally only important when there is a highly controversial issue and high public demand to make a comment before the Board). The public comment portion of the agenda is generally NOT a time for the Board to interact with the public or to respond to the comments made by any member of the public. It is a time to allow comments to be heard by the Board. If a member of the public wishes to make inflammatory comments regarding an employee of the District, the Board should request that such communication take place in Closed Session to protect the privacy rights of staff.
