PUBLIC COMMENT AT PUBLIC MEETINGS POLICY

The Bartlett Public Library District Board of Library Trustees recognizes the value of public comment on Library issues and the importance of allowing members of the public to express themselves on matters of community interest.

To permit the fair and orderly expression of public comment, the Board provides periods for public comment at public meetings.

A "Town Hall" period for public comment at the beginning of public meetings shall be designated for public comments germane to the Library District.

A "Town Hall" period for public comment at the end of public meetings shall be designated exclusively for public comments regarding items discussed during that meeting.

The presiding officer of each public meeting shall administer the following rules:

The following abbreviated version of these guidelines will be stated in each monthly board agenda:
Appropriate comments from the public will be welcome at the beginning of this meeting, on any subject germane to the Library District. Appropriate comments from the public will be welcome at the end of this meeting, exclusively regarding items discussed during this meeting. Comments will be strictly limited to 3 minutes during each period and subject to additional limitations set forth in the Public Comment Policy. A complete version of the Public Comment Policy is available upon request.
