Members of the public may submit comments by mail, email listed below, or via voice message at: (775) 328-2003.
Staff will make reasonable efforts to include all comments received by 4:00pm the day prior to the meeting by
email and voicemail into the record. Comments are limited to 3 minutes per person and will be entered into the
record only.
Time Limits
Public comments are welcomed during the Public Comment period for all matters, whether listed on or off the
agenda, and are limited to three (3) minutes per person or as designated by the Citizens Advisory Board Chair at
the beginning of the meeting. Additionally, public comment of three (3) minutes per person will be heard during
individually numbered items designated as "for possible action" on the agenda. No action may be taken on a
matter raised under general public comment until the matter is included on an agenda as an item on which action
may be taken. Persons may not allocate unused time to other speakers.
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. 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"
