Board adopts change to bylaws to add two public‑comment periods
Summary
Supervisors approved an amendment to the Board of Supervisors bylaws (section 4.3) to create two public comment periods: an open public comment period and a second period limited to agenda items.
The Charles City County Board of Supervisors approved an update to its bylaws, amending section 4.3 to split public comment into two parts: an initial open-comment period and a separate period limited to agenda items.
A supervisor moved to approve the bylaw update; the motion passed with all supervisors present voting aye. Under the revised section 4.3 as presented, one public comment period is designated for open comments and a second comment period is limited to agenda items only. The change was offered by a board member and adopted at the meeting.
The board implemented the change immediately and the chair announced that the meeting would include both public-comment periods consistent with the revised bylaws.
