County Commissioners and/or County staff may attend and participate by a remote technology system.  
Members of the public wishing to attend the meeting may do so at the designated physical location or may

Public Comment. Public comment is welcomed during public comment periods and is limited to 3 minutes per  
person per public comment period. Unused time may not be allocated to other speakers. A speaker’s  
viewpoint will not be restricted; however, reasonable restrictions may be imposed upon the time, place, and  
manner of speech. Irrelevant statements, unduly repetitious statements, and personal attacks that would  
objectively antagonize or incite others are examples of speech that may be reasonably limited. All comments  
are to be directed to the Commission as a whole.  
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. Items voted on in the Consent section or in a separate block or blocks  
shall have a single public comment period per block, and public comment will only be heard about the specific

designated “for possible action” that are considered individually, public comment will only be heard about the  
specific item being considered by the Commission. Members of the public that wish to share documents or  
make a brief presentation within their public comment period must provide ten (10) printed copies of each

disruptive conduct or comments may or may not be given prior to removal.  
Responses to Public Comments. The Board of County Commissioners may only deliberate or take action on  
matters that have been properly labeled “for possible action” and listed on a properly noticed Agenda. While  
the Open Meeting law allows discussion of public comments by members of the Commission, responses to  
matters not listed on the agenda could become deliberation without notice to the public. To avoid this  
situation and to ensure the public has proper notice of all matters, members may choose not to respond to  
public comments, except to correct factual inaccuracies, ask for staff to provide information, or ask that the  
matter be listed on a future agenda for consideration.

(Northern Paiute), Newe (Western Shoshone), Nuwu (Southern Paiute), and Pipa Aha (Mojave), the original  
caretakers of the land that we now call Nevada. Washoe County, formally named after the Washoe people in  
1861, continues to be a gathering place and home for Indigenous Peoples, and we recognize their rich history  
and deep connections to these lands. May we honor their past, present, and future stewardship by  
remembering that the health of the land and its people are inextricably linked.
