Attending a Board Meeting

This page last reviewed October 12, 2011

The Board Meeting agenda is available at least 10 days prior to a Board Meeting on our website: Information Regarding Future Board Meetings. Board Meetings are open to the Public and are available via webcast. For more information, please contact the Clerk of the Board at (916) 322-5594.

The Public Meeting Agenda lists agenda items in numerical order. Every effort will be made to adhere to that order. Occasionally, it may be necessary for the Board Chair to rearrange the sequence of an agenda item in order to provide a forum for maximum public participation. Please keep in mind that definite timelines are difficult, and in some cases impossible to predict in advance. Your understanding is appreciated.

The Board welcomes testimony from the public on agenda items being presented to the Board. However, some agenda items may generate considerable public interest and a large number of people wishing to present testimony. Therefore, in the interest of time, the Chair may request that potential testifiers limit their presentations to the Board to three (3) minutes. This will ensure that the Board will be able to hear all viewpoints in a timely manner. If the Chair so requests, please be prepared to succinctly present your views and adhere to the three (3) minute time limit. Please understand that this limit will not necessarily be imposed on testimony on all agenda items.

There will be an Open Comment Period to allow an opportunity for interested members of the public to address the Board on items of interest that do not specifically appear on the agenda. Although no formal Board action may be taken, the Board will hear testimony on subject matters within the jurisdiction of the Board. Each person will be allowed a maximum of three (3) minutes to ensure that everyone has a chance to speak.
