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.
