Items with a specific time designation will not be heard prior to the

read aloud. The Board of County
Commissioners may take breaks approximately every 90 minutes.

the agenda which are designated for possible action. Persons are invited to submit comments in
writing on the agenda items and/or attend and make comment on that item at the
Commission meeting. Persons may not
allocate unused time to other speakers.
Forum Restrictions and Orderly Conduct of Business. The Board of
County Commissioners conducts the business of Washoe County and its citizens
during its meetings. The presiding
officer may order the removal of any person whose statement or other conduct
disrupts the orderly, efficient or safe conduct of the meeting. Warnings against disruptive comments or
behavior may or may not be given prior to removal. The viewpoint of a speaker will not be
restricted, but reasonable restrictions may be imposed upon the time, place and
manner of speech. Irrelevant and unduly
repetitious statements and personal attacks which antagonize or incite others
are examples of speech that may be reasonably limited.
Responses to Public Comments. The County
Commission can deliberate or take action only if a matter has been listed on an
agenda properly posted prior to the meeting.
During the public comment period, speakers may address matters listed or
not listed on the published agenda. The
Open Meeting Law does not expressly prohibit responses to public comments by
the Commission. However, responses from
Commissioners to unlisted public comment topics could become deliberation on a
matter without notice to the public. On
the advice of legal counsel and to ensure the public has notice of all matters
the Commission will consider, Commissioners may choose not to respond to public
comments, except to correct factual inaccuracies, ask for County staff action
or to ask that a matter be listed on a future agenda. The Commission may do this either during the
public comment item or during the following item: “Commissioners’/County Manager’s
announcements, reports and updates, requests for information or topics for
future agendas.”
Pursuant to NRS 241.020, the Agenda for the Commission Meeting has been posted at the following locations: Washoe County Administration Building (1001 E. 9th Street, Bldg.
