Public comments by a member of the public at a single meeting are limited to three minutes per speaker per listed agenda item unless the time allotment is decreased by the Chair depending on the number of speakers.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The general public comment period during the opening part of the meeting to address non-agenda items is limited to no more than three minutes per speaker and may be decreased by the Chair depending on the number of speakers for non-agenda items.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">To maintain a public meeting environment conducive and welcoming to receiving public comments from all members of the public, the audience is discouraged from engaging in displays of support or opposition to staff reports or public comments, including clapping, yelling, booing, hissing or cheering, that may create a disruptive environment for members of the public wishing to participate.\u00a0 Any person who disrupts or impedes the orderly conduct of a meeting will be instructed to cease the disruptive conduct. Failure to do so may result in that person being removed from the meeting.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Members of the public who would like to augment their comments with visual or audio presentations using County equipment must submit their materials to the Clerk of the Board for review at least 24 hours before the meeting before use of County equipment will be allowed.\u00a0 The review will be conducted to determine only whether the materials are on matters within the jurisdiction of the Board, would be disruptive of the meeting, or would foster illegality, such as identity theft.\u00a0 If it is determined the materials are about matters not within the Board\u2019s jurisdiction, or would be disruptive of the meeting, or would foster illegality, use of County equipment will not be allowed.<\/p><hr \/><h4 style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Public Participation<\/strong><\/h4><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Board offers various methods for public participation.
