Meeting Procedures

For Public Participation

During all meetings, cell phones and other electronic devices should be silenced. Authority meetings are not an appropriate forum for any campaigning, political speeches, or solicitation of any goods or services.

The Authority’s Board of Directors cares about our customers and welcomes public comments and concerns. The Board of Directors meets on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month at 5:30p.m. for regularly scheduled board meetings, where the Board approves resolutions that have been previously presented during the monthly work session.

It is the policy of the Board to take public comments on agenda items at the beginning of board meetings and public comments on non-agenda items at the conclusion of board meetings.
In order to be heard, customers must sign in before the meeting begins. Any materials to be distributed to the Board must be submitted to the Communications Coordinator or other Authority representative at the time of sign-in.
Each speaker will have three (3) minutes to address the Board. If multiple speakers are addressing an agenda or non-agenda item, there is a limit of thirty (30) minutes total per discussion item. Only one speaker may speak at a time.
If you have appeared before the Board before, you are not allowed to present the same information again. You may present new information or make brief comments or clarifying statements regarding information that has been previously presented.
For agenda item comments – The Chairman will call for comments on each agenda item at the beginning of the meeting. When you approach the podium, please state your name and address clearly and identify whether you support or oppose the item.
For non-agenda item comments – At the conclusion of the resolutions, the Chairman will call for public comments on non-agenda items. This is your chance to present information to the Board and to the staff so that the Authority can understand your issue. Understand that no action will be taken at the meeting.

These procedures are also applicable to anyone speaking at a Board of Directors work session, which are held at 5:30 p.m. on the first Monday of the month. Public comment at work session meetings will be taken at the beginning of the agenda.
