It is the policy of the Trustees of the Little Dixie Regional Libraries to elicit input from patrons and citizens of the Library District. A period of up to fifteen minutes for general comments from patrons and visitors shall be scheduled at the beginning of each Board Meeting.
Individual citizen’s comments shall be limited to three (3) minutes. Each speaker will complete a comment form which will include the speaker’s name, address, phone number, email address, group affiliation (if any) and a brief description of the topic the speaker wishes to address. The Board President or presiding officer has the discretion to extend the time allotted for public comments.
The Presiding Officer shall rule “out of order” all comments which are irrelevant, repetitious or derogatory of persons, businesses or organizations.
Upon conclusion of the Public Comment portion of the agenda, unless requested by one of the Trustees present, comments on specific agenda items will not be accepted from the audience.
If a citizen requests that an item be placed on the agenda for discussion, a signed request in writing should be made to the Director’s attention at least ten days prior to the regularly scheduled board meeting. The item will be placed on the agenda for action, information, or discussion at the next regular mailing of Board packets.
