Board apologizes for Webex issues; public commenter says he was removed from prior meeting
Before public comment the board acknowledged technical difficulties with its Webex system at the prior meeting and said staff had implemented a fix and a backup process. Board President Gordon Ross said if problems recur the board will pause public comment and use the backup process so commenters can resume.

During public comment a speaker identified as Justin disputed being removed from the prior meeting. He said he had been approved to speak, noted the topic he entered on the public comment signup included a notice that he would use profanity, and asked why he had been removed at the earlier meeting. Justin questioned whether he was denied the opportunity to speak because of a single profanity while he was in his home and said he had been removed despite being approved to speak in the public record.

The board acknowledged the prior technical difficulties and said it believed those difficulties were fixed; the meeting then proceeded through the remainder of the public‑comment period and adjourned.
