Comments from the public on other matters not appearing on the agenda that are within the GOVCOM’s jurisdiction will be heard during the General Public Comment period. Please note that under the Brown Act, the GOVCOM is prevented from acting on a matter that you bring to its attention during the General Public Comment period; however, the issue raised by a member of the public may become the subject of a future WHWCNC Board or GOVCOM meeting. Public comment is limited to 1 minute per speaker, unless adjusted by the presiding officer of the GOVCOM.

 

 SB 411 Updates:

In the event of a disruption that prevents the GOVCOM from broadcasting the meeting to members of the public using the call-in option or internet-based service option, or in the event of a disruption within the GOVCOM control that prevents members of the public from offering public comments using the call-in option or internet-based service option, the GOVCOM shall take no further action on items appearing on the meeting agenda until public access to the meeting via the call-in option or internet-based service option is restored. Actions taken on agenda items during a disruption that prevents the GOVCOM from broadcasting the meeting may be challenged pursuant to Section 54960.1.

The GOVCOM shall not require public comments to be submitted in advance of the meeting and shall provide an opportunity for the public to address the GOVCOM and offer comments in real time.

Notwithstanding Section 54953.3, an individual desiring to provide public comment through the use of an internet website, or other online platform, not under the control of the GOVCOM, that requires registration to log in to a teleconference may be required to register as required by the third-party internet website or online platform to participate.

(i) If the GOVCOM provides a timed public comment period for each agenda item shall not close the public comment period for the agenda item, or the opportunity to register, pursuant to subparagraph to provide public comment until that timed public comment period has elapsed.

(ii) If the GOVCOM  does not provide a timed public comment period, but takes public comment separately on each agenda item, shall allow a reasonable amount of time per agenda item to allow public members the opportunity to provide public comment, including time for members of the public to register pursuant to subparagraph (D), or otherwise be recognized for the purpose of providing public comment.

(iii) If the GOVCOM provides a timed general public comment period that does not correspond to a specific agenda item shall not close the public comment period or the opportunity to register, pursuant to subparagraph (D), until the timed general public comment period has elapsed.
