Summary

Staff read public-comment guidelines and reported no attendees; a commissioner moved to close the public-comment period and the motion was approved, with names and vote tally not recorded in the transcript.

Jackson County Commission closed its public-comment period after staff said no members of the public were present and a commissioner moved to end the session.

The move came after a staff member read the commission's public-comment guidelines, instructing speakers to state their names and noting time limits for remarks. The staff member told the commission that no members of the public were in attendance to speak.

A commissioner then "moved" to close the public-comment period. The transcript indicates the motion was supported and approved, but it does not record the names of the mover or seconder or provide a formal vote tally. With no public speakers, the commission proceeded to the next item on the agenda.

The exchange took place during the meeting's public-comment segment rather than during a separate agenda item. The transcript does not provide additional detail about how long the public-comment period had been open before it was closed, or whether remote/commenting options remained available.
