APPENDIX Public Speaking Guidelines

Revised: 8/9/07

Each speaker will have the opportunity to address the board on matters for consideration by the board. Public speakers on agenda items shall address only those items that are being considered on the agenda. A person wishing to speak on agenda items will be allowed 3 minutes to address the board. Should a member of the public wish to speak on matters not listed on the agenda, they may speak during the Public Hearing on Non-Agenda Items. Speakers will be given 2 minutes to address the board. The public should be aware that the board is unable, by law, to deliberate or take action on non-agenda items. If a speaker requests additional time, that person may be recognized by a board member one time for an additional 2 minutes on either agenda or non-agenda items, but not for both. In those situations where large groups of people desire to address the board on the same matter, whether it is an agenda item or non-agenda item, the chair will request that those groups select only one or two speakers from the group to address the board on behalf of the group. We ask that speakers provide their comments within the allocated time so that other speakers also have the opportunity to address the board. Additionally, we ask that speakers avoid making public allegations of misconduct against individual employees, and would invite those speakers to discuss such individual employment issues specifically with the supervisor of the employee.

Your comments are important to us. For that reason, after we have listened to all public comments, trustees have the following options:

• Trustees may refer your comments to the Superintendent for his consideration and a report back to the board; or

• Trustees may choose to request that a staff member meet with you; or

• Trustees may choose to respond to you; or

• Under some circumstances, trustees may choose not to respond

Prior to each agenda item being voted on, members of the public are allowed to speak on the item after the Board’s discussion and prior to their vote. Since approval of the consent agenda may be approved in 1 motion, members of the public wishing to speak on a consent agenda item may speak prior to the vote. Customarily, speakers will be called in the order in which they signed up. No person may sign up for another individual. No person may yield his or her time to another person. Generally, a person wishing to speak on agenda items will be allowed 3 minutes to address the Board. Public comments must be related to matters within the jurisdiction of the Clark County.
