The listing of matters are those reasonably anticipated by the Chair which may be discussed at the meeting. Not all items listed may be discussed and other items not listed may also be brought up for discussion to the extent permitted by law.
Public Participation
Under the Open Meeting Law, the public is permitted to attend meetings of public
bodies but is excluded from an executive session that is called for a valid purpose listed in the
law. While the public is permitted to attend an open meeting, an individual may not address
the public body without permission of the chair. An individual may not disrupt a meeting of a
public body, and at the request of the chair, all members of the public shall be silent. If, after
clear warning, a person continues to be disruptive, the chair may order the person to leave the
meeting. If the person does not leave, the chair may authorize a constable or other officer to
remove the person. Although public participation is entirely within the chair’s discretion, the
Attorney General encourages public bodies to allow as much public participation as time
permits. Any member of the public may make an audio or video recording of an open session of a public meeting. A member of the public who wishes to record a meeting must first notify the
chair and must comply with reasonable requirements regarding audio or video equipment
established by the chair so as not to interfere with the meeting. The chair is required to inform
other attendees of any such recording at the beginning of the meeting. If someone arrives after
the meeting has begun and wishes to record a meeting, that person should attempt to notify
the chair prior to beginning recording, ideally in a manner that does not significantly disrupt the
meeting in progress (such as passing a note for the chair to the board administrator or
secretary). The chair should endeavor to acknowledge such attempts at notification and
announce the fact of any recording to those in attendance.
