Forum
Restrictions and Orderly Conduct of Business. The Board of County Commissioners conducts
the business of Washoe County and its citizens during its meetings. The presiding officer may order the removal
of any person whose statement or other conduct disrupts the orderly, efficient
or safe conduct of the meeting. Warnings
against disruptive comments or behavior may or may not be given prior to
removal. The viewpoint of a speaker will
not be restricted, but reasonable restrictions may be imposed upon the time,
place and manner of speech. Irrelevant
and unduly repetitious statements and personal attacks which antagonize or
incite others are examples of speech that may be reasonably limited.
Responses
to Public Comments.
The County Commission can deliberate or take action only if a matter has
been listed on an agenda properly posted prior to the meeting. During the public comment period, speakers
may address matters listed or not listed on the published agenda. The Open Meeting Law does not expressly prohibit
responses to public comments by the Commission.
However, responses from Commissioners to unlisted public comment topics
could become deliberation on a matter without notice to the public. On the advice of legal counsel and to ensure
the public has notice of all matters the Commission will consider,
Commissioners may choose not to respond to public comments, except to correct
factual inaccuracies, ask for County staff action or to ask that a matter be
listed on a future agenda. The
Commission may do this during the public comment item.
Support
documentation for the items on the agenda, provided to the Washoe County Board
of Commissioners is available to members of the public at the County Manager’s
Office (1001 E. 9th Street, Bldg. A, 2nd Floor, Reno, Nevada)
