Board Meeting Times and Public Comment

I received this information from a reliable source.

The BCCT this weekend, in their two articles about this week's meeting, indicated an incorrect start time. In Manasee's article she said it starts at 7:00. In the listing of "Meetings this week" for the entire county, the paper says it starts at 8:00pm. In reality it starts at 7:30pm. I have already notified the paper of this error. Hopefully they will correct it.

Secondly, apparently you can only sign-up for public comment up until 7:30pm. At 7:31 you will be too late and not permitted to speak. So those interested in speaking should be prompt or early. Secondly, the sign-in sheet has recently been placed in front of the Board president, not off to the side as was previous Board practice. Those who have spoken in the past may need this new bit of direction.
