Hear the Public Policy

Hear the Public

The Board of Supervisors invites citizens and guests to present comments on issues deserving their attention during the Hear the Public portion of the meeting.  If you wish to speak, please observe the policy below regarding public address and the presentation of visuals and handouts.

  • During the designated Hear the Public time during the meeting The Chairman will call for those to approach the podium, one at a time, to make your statements on the record.
  • The Board will try to hear everyone who wishes to speak on a subject, but occasionally discussion is limited because of time. To respect everyone’s time please be as concise as possible in an effort to take no more than 3 minutes to share your ideas and questions with the Board.
  • All comments must be directed to the Chair and other supervisors. Please begin by stating your name and address for the audio record as you approach the speaker’s lectern. Debate and lengthy conversation between the speaker and the Board or members of the audience will not be allowed. This is your time to bring an issue to the attention of the Board and to have your thoughts heard for future consideration and action.
  • Speakers may leave any printed materials with the Clerk for review by the Supervisors during or after the speaker’s comment period.
  • Speakers will be considered out of order if they engage in personal attacks, use profanity, or abusive language, or debate with the supervisors or the audience. All speakers considered out of order will be asked to step down from the lectern. If disruption continues, you may be asked to leave the Courtroom.
  • Accepted etiquette is to not applaud or make loud responses during the meeting.

If you wish to share more in-depth information with the Board and require more time to effectively communicate your information and message or wish to share an electronic presentation, please contact the County Administrator/Clerk of the Board (540) 864-5010 in advance to schedule a Briefing during an upcoming monthly Board meeting to more thoroughly share your ideas.
