Board Meeting Procedures

Section 1100.130  Board Meeting Procedures a)         If a quorum of Board members is physically present at a Board meeting, a Board member may be allowed to attend by video or audio conferencing if that Board member cannot be physically present at the meeting because of personal illness or disability; employment purposes or the business of the public body; or a family or other emergency.  The Board member must provide advance notice to the Chair of the Board unless advance notice is impractical. b)         After the Board has considered pending cases, members of the public shall be permitted to address the Board during the open portion of a Board meeting on subjects relevant to the Board's functions.  The comments by each member of the public shall be limited to a reasonable period of time, not to exceed five minutes unless the Board gives permission. c)         Any person shall be permitted to photograph, tape, film or otherwise record the open portions of Board meetings.  Persons may be required to locate their cameras or other recording devices at a sufficient distance from the Board members as is necessary to avoid interference with the Board's discussion.
