The board is here to listen only and will not take action or discuss topics brought forward during the open forum.  It may, at its discretion, ask questions for clarification of issues. The board may, if it deems appropriate, bring said issues forward at a subsequent meeting.  NO PERSONAL ATTACKS WILL BE ALLOWED.  The open forum is the only opportunity for members of the audience to speak out during the meeting.
