Chair apologizes for last meeting; reasserts public-comment rules
Summary
Chairman Doug Humes apologized for the previous meeting becoming disorderly and told the board public comment should be limited to speakers at the podium, with no back-and-forth from board members.
Chairman Doug Humes apologized to board members for how the prior meeting unfolded and restated expectations for the public-comment period.
Humes said that public comment should be limited to the public speaking at the podium and that board members should refrain from interjecting: "public comment should be just the public speaking at the podium and there should not be any comments, answers, or back and forth from the board." There were no public speakers during the meeting's public-comment period.
The statement serves as a reminder of local meeting decorum and will guide how the board handles public comments at future meetings.
