Public Comment Steps
Public Comment Steps
Review the board agenda to see if your comments apply to an agenda item or not. See instructions above about how to find board meeting information, which includes links to agendas.
Ideally, prepare and practice your comments ahead of time, including timing yourself to make sure your comments are less than 3 minutes long. Keep in mind that board meetings are recorded and will be made available to the general public.
Arrive at meetings BEFORE the start time. The public portion of meetings typically starts at 6:00 pm so arrive with plenty of time to park, find the meeting location, fill out a speaker card (see samples below), and present it to the Board secretary before the meeting starts.
