Members of the public who desire to address the board regarding an item on this agenda must comply with the following registration procedures:

Under this law, we proceed according to a posted agenda and cannot act on any item not on this agenda. Therefore, if you have any special problems or concerns, we regret to inform you that no action can be taken on those concerns at this meeting.

During this period, the Board will listen to your comments but will not participate in a discussion of your concerns. Any questions you have may be directed to the Board President who will handle those questions at their discretion. If action is appropriate for consideration based on your comments, the Board President will direct the administration to follow-up on the problem. As appropriate, your concern could either be handled by the administration or it could possibly be placed on a future agenda as an item for consideration.

After the Open Forum, the Board will proceed with the meeting, following the posted agenda and will not accept questions or comments from the audience except at the discretion and/or direction of the Board
President. In order that all in attendance may hear the proceedings, the audience is asked to refrain from talking.
