Public Participation

Comments on all topics, both those on the agenda and those not on the agenda, will be made at the beginning of the meeting during the time designated for “Individuals desiring to address the Board.” General public comments will generally be heard first, followed by comment on specific agenda items.

No action may be taken by the Board on matters not on the agenda unless Government Code 54954 is evoked by the Trustees.
