The Fargo Board of Education opened a public hearing at 6:01 p.m. on the district’s property tax levy in compliance with North Dakota Century Code 57-15-02.2 and closed the hearing after no members of the public offered oral or written comments.
Nut graf: The hearing fulfilled the statutory requirement to allow public comment on the levy; because no one presented comments at the designated time, the board closed the hearing without receiving testimony.
During the hearing the board read the required notice language and invited anyone present to speak at the podium and state their name for the record. With no speakers, the presiding officer closed the hearing at 6:01 p.m. and the meeting proceeded to other agenda items.
Ending: No decisions about the levy were made during the closed hearing; the record shows the board met the hearing requirement and will proceed with any remaining levy steps as appropriate.
