Other Information
The Board of Trustees periodically conducts hearings in which the public are allowed to participate and to make oral presentations. This public hearing shall be conducted remotely by electronic means. To participate electronically:
- Members of the public who desire to comment during the hearing must participate through the Cisco WebEx Meetings software. The software can be found at https://www.webex.com/downloads.html.
- Those who desire to make a comment shall download the Cisco WebEx Meetings software to their computer, tablet, or phone before the hearing and ensure they have a suitable internet connection.
- Members of the public will initially join the hearing as an 'Attendee,' where they can only listen to and watch the proceedings. Their microphones will be muted and their video will not be visible to the Board.
- Members of the public shall use the 'chat window' to send a message to the Board and indicate the speaker's name, address, and whom she or he represents.
- To make a comment, members of the public may either type their comments directly into the 'chat window' and have them read into the public record, or they may request time from the Board Chair to orally present them during the hearing.
- The Board Chair shall determine who will speak during the hearing and admit individuals one-by- one to become a meeting 'Panelist,' where they will be given unmuted microphone privileges and, if applicable, video privileges.
- Individuals who only call-in will be unable to make comments but will be able to listen to the hearing.
In order to allow the hearing to proceed orderly, to provide for the fair and efficient use of time allotted for the hearing, and to allow the public to view, to hear, and participate in the hearing, it is necessary to adopt appropriate rules for procedure and decorum. The following rules shall be observed during the hearing before the Board:
1. Speakers shall address their comments to the Chair, and they shall not debate with other meeting Attendees or make personal attacks.
2. A predetermined time limit shall be placed on speakers. A speaker cannot combine his/her time with another (e.g., Speaker 'X' cannot give his/her time to Speaker 'Y' so that Speaker 'Y' has double the time), and redundant comments will not be recognized by the Chair.
3. The hearing is designed for civil discussion. Therefore, attendees shall not jeer, cheer, yell out comments, or clap.
4. After the close of the public comment period, discussion shall be limited to Board members and staff.
