BS needs to be held accountable and they don’t like being called out. This needs to be removed

Restore public right to participate in the full process of discussion up to and including deliberation of agenda items.

We elected these people as our representatives. Not the other way around. Denying the public the right to speak as items are being heard is a disservice to the residents of this great county.

I object to this policy both as an involved citizen and as a board member.

It's not a good sign when any elected representatives treat public comment as a nuisance to be sidelined rather than an essential element of good governance. This policy should be repealed ASAP.

Public comment should shape decisions—not be rushed or sidelined. Forcing residents to cram multiple agenda items into a single three-minute comment before anything is heard silences real input and erodes transparency. Ask yourself how denying item-specific, real-time public comment benefits the public at all. Hint: it doesn’t.
