Motion to open the meeting to public discussion on agenda items

Statements made by individual participants are limited to a duration of five (5) minutes unless otherwise announced at the beginning of the discussion.  The Board urges large groups to select one person to represent them.  The Board utilizes a yellow and red color-coded system to reinforce the five (5) minute time allotment to ensure the best opportunity for the Board to hear from all members of the public who wish to speak.  The Board reminds those individuals who take the opportunity to speak to please step up to the microphone, identify themselves by name and address, and to limit their comments to items listed on the agenda.  The Board may or may not respond to issues raised by members of the public.  All comments will be considered and a response will be forthcoming if and when appropriate.  The Board asks all members of the public to be courteous and mindful of the rights of other individuals when speaking.  Specifically, the Board discourages comments regarding students and employees and will not respond to such comments. Please note that after the public discussion is closed by the President, no other comments from the audience will be permitted until the “Public Comments from the Audience on Any Topic of Concern” at the end of the agenda.  At that time, comments do not have to be confined to agenda items.
