During the Citizens’ Comments section of the agenda, any citizen/taxpayer (that is, any member of the public, including college employees) may request to address the board in open meeting. This is an open forum for those persons who wish to make presentations to the board and who have signed up to do so following the procedures in Board policy BDB (Local). Except as otherwise permitted by Board policy and procedures, an individual’s comments to the Board shall not exceed five minutes.
If any speaker’s presentation contains complaints or concerns about an individual employee or officer of the district, the Board may require that the presentation be conducted in executive session with the board members pursuant to the Texas Open Meetings Act.
