Possible Changes to Agenda and Timing
The Open Space and Regional Parks Commission may consider items on this agenda out of order, may combine
two or more items for consideration, may remove items from the agenda, and may move items to the agenda of
another later meeting at any time.
Public Comment
Public comments are welcomed during the public comment periods at the beginning and end of the meeting and
during individual action items and are limited to three (3) minutes per person. Persons may not allocate unused
time to other speakers.
Members of the public may submit public comment by attending the meeting via teleconference by logging into
the ZOOM webinar and utilizing the “Raise Hand” feature during any public comment period. To provide public
comment via telephone, press *9 to “Raise Hand” and *6 to mute/unmute. Additionally, members of the public
may submit written comments via email to Brandon Roman at the email listed below. The County will make
reasonable efforts to send all email comments received by 4:00pm on the day prior to the meeting to the
Commissioners prior to the meeting.
During the general public comment periods at the beginning and end of the meeting, speakers may address any
matter either on or off the agenda. For the remainder of the agenda, public comment will only be heard during
items listed “(For Possible Action)” and should be about the specific item being considered by the Commission.
Response to Public Comments
The Commission can deliberate or take action only if a matter has been listed on an agenda properly posted prior
to the meeting. During the public comment period, speakers may address matters listed or not listed on the
published agenda.
The Open Meeting Law does not expressly prohibit responses to public comments by the Commission. However,
responses from Commissioners to unlisted public comment topics could become deliberation on a matter without
notice to the public. On the advice of legal counsel and to ensure the public has notice of all matters the
Commission will consider, Commissioners may choose not to respond to public comments, except to correct
factual inaccuracies, ask for County staff action or to ask that a matter be listed on a future agenda. The
Commission may do this either during the public comment item or during the following item: “*Commissioner’s
Requests for future agenda items: (This item limited to announcements or topics/issues proposed for future
workshops/agendas)”.
Forum Restrictions and Orderly Conduct of Business
The Commission Chair may order the removal of any person whose statement or other conduct disrupts the
orderly, efficient, or safe conduct of the meeting. Warnings against disruptive conduct may or may not be given
before removal. The viewpoint of a speaker will not be restricted, but reasonable restrictions may be imposed
upon the time, place, and manner of speech. Irrelevant and unduly repetitious statements and personal attacks
which antagonize or incite others are examples of speech that may be reasonably limited.
