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’/Manager’s Announcements,
