Forum Restrictions and Orderly Conduct of Business  
The Citizens Advisory Board is an advisory body providing community comments and recommendations to Washoe  
County governing boards. Comments and dialogue centered around the key principles of dignity: inclusion, safety,  
recognition, fairness, understanding, acknowledgement, independence, accountability benefit of the doubt, and  
acceptance of identity are encouraged. 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. Warning against  
disruptive conduct 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 Comment  
The Citizens Advisory Board 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  
CAB members. However, responses from CAB members 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 Citizens Advisory Board will consider, CAB members may choose not to respond to public  
comments, except to correct factual inaccuracies, ask for County staff clarification, or to ask that a matter be  
addressed on a future agenda. CAB members may do this either during the public comment item or during the  
following item "CHAIRMAN/BOARD MEMBER ITEMS"  
Posting Locations  
Pursuant to NRS 241.020(4)(a), this notice has been posted online at the following websites:
