Attending a Board
Meeting
|
| The Board Meeting agenda is available from
the Public Information Office (916) 322-2990 at least 10 days prior to
a Board Meeting. It will also be available on this
website at the address http://www.arb.ca.gov/board/board.htm by
clicking on the link Information
Regarding Future Board Meetings. Board Meetings are
open to the Public and are available via webcast. |
| 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 Chairman to
rearrange the sequence of an agenda item. The Chairman
prides himself on following the Board meeting
schedule, 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 Chairman 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 Chairman 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. |
| Please contact Lori Andreoni, the Clerk of the
Board, at (916) 322-5594 or TTY/TDD/Speech-to-Speech users may dial
7-1-1 for the California relay Service to submit written
comments on an agenda item or to request special accommodations for
persons with disabilities. If you wish to testify before the
Board, please sign up with the Clerk of the Board at the Board
meeting. Any written comments should also be submitted to the
Clerk of the Board (30 copies are requested). |
