Members of the public may provide public comment on an item on the agenda or on a matter not on the agenda that is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the board of trustees, in person, remotely or by email.
In an effort to gain as much public input as possible and in accordance with AP 2345 Public Participation at Board Meetings, individual speakers will be limited to five minutes or less. The total amount of time for the public on any agenda item will be limited to thirty minutes unless this time is waived or changed by a majority of the board.
PUBLIC COMMENTS IN PERSON
Members of the public may address the board in person by completing a comment card entitled "Request to Address Board of Trustees" and submitting it to Cydney Leon, recording secretary. These cards are available near the entrance of the board room next to the sign-in sheet. When completing the comment card, the person wishing to speak should indicate whether they would like to speak during the comment period at the beginning of the meeting or at the time a specific agenda item is addressed.

Any member of the public who wishes to provide live remote public comment should send an email to cleon@citruscollege.edu beginning at 3 p.m. on the day of the meeting.
