Public Comments during PPLD Board of Trustees Meetings
Individuals with comments regarding a Business Item on a meeting's agenda will be invited to speak before the Board begins discussion on each item. This will give the Trustees an opportunity to hear the public’s views prior to making a decision.
People with comments not related to the Business Items on the agenda will be permitted to speak during a one-hour public comment session after the Board addresses its Business Items.
Please note, only one public comment per person is permitted.
Thank you for your adherence to these guidelines. We look forward to hearing from you.
