The Chair and Vice-Chair also retain discretion to only provide for the Open Meeting Law’s minimum public comment and not call for or allow additional individual-item public comment at the time of the body’s consideration of the item when: 1) it is deemed necessary by the chair to the orderly conduct of the meeting; 2) it involves an off-site non-action facility tour agenda item; or 3) it involves any person’s or entity’s due process appeal or hearing rights provided by statute or the Carson City Municipal Code.  Comments may be limited to three minutes per person or topic at the discretion of the Chair or Vice-Chair in order to facilitate the meeting.

Please note: Any person who wishes to have their complete testimony included in the permanent record of this meeting should provide a written or electronic copy to the Chair or Vice-Chair in addition to any other written material.  Minutes of the meeting are produced in a summary format and are not verbatim.
