Multiple citizens used the public-comment period to urge the board to include public-comment text in the official meeting record and minutes. A resident, identified in the transcript as Marilla, said public comments "aren't included in the meeting minutes" to her knowledge and asked that they be recorded so that future readers can see what community members have raised.
Another commenter, Penelope Mace, introduced herself as a resident who has attended meetings of ROAR (Residents Organizing Against Racism) and said she had recently applied to serve on the district’s diversity and equity committee but was told community spots were filled. Mace said she would like to serve in some capacity and urged the board to preserve and strengthen diversity and equity efforts.
The board thanked the speakers and did not take immediate action during the meeting but later in comments several board members said they expect the board operations committee to consider public-comment procedures and recordkeeping.
Quotations are taken from the public meeting transcript and attributed to the speakers listed.
