Public comments are welcomed during the public comment periods for all matters, whether listed on the agenda
or not, and are limited to two minutes per person. Additionally, public comment of two minutes per person will be
heard during individually numbered items designated as “for possible action” on the agenda. Persons are invited
to submit comments in writing on the agenda items and/or attend and make comment on that item at the
Trustees’ meeting. Persons may not allocate unused time to other speakers.
Members of the public may submit comment by either attending the meeting in person, attending the meeting via
teleconference, attending by telephone, or submitting comment in writing. To provide public comment via Zoom,
log into the Zoom Meeting at the above link and utilize the “Raise Hand” feature during any public comment
period. To provide public comment via telephone only, press *9 and *6 to mute or unmute your telephone. To
submit comments in writing email Victoria Stebbins at the Comptroller’s Office email listed below. The County will
make reasonable efforts to send all email comments received by 4:00 p.m. on July 21, 2026, to the Trustees prior
to the meeting.
Forum Restrictions and Orderly Conduct of Business
The Washoe County OPEB Trust Board of Trustees conducts the business of the OPEB Trust Fund during its
meetings. The presiding officer 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 comments or behavior may or
may not be given prior to 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.
Responses to Public Comments
The Board of Trustees 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 Board.
However, responses from Trustees to unlisted public comment topics could become deliberation on a matter
without notice to the public. To ensure the public has notice of all matters the Board of Trustees will consider,
Trustees may choose not to respond to public comments, except to correct factual inaccuracies, ask for staff action
or to ask that a matter be listed on a future agenda. The Board may do this either during the public comment item
or during the following item: “Trustees’/Staff announcements, requests for information, topics for future agendas
and statements relating to items not on the agenda.”
