Public Comment Policy

Although any person may attend the open sessions of PLF Board of Directors meetings, only Board members are entitled to speak.

OSB Members and members of the public who wish to provide comment at a Board meeting should contact Heather Davis-Warren at heatherdw@osbplf.org at least 24 hours in advance of the meeting to request that the PLF Board Chair include public comment on the meeting agenda. The Board Chair has the sole discretion to determine whether to allow public comment. When determining whether to allow public comment, the Board Chair may consider the time available during the Board meeting in light of other items on the agenda, the level of public interest in the matter at issue, and whether the Board plans to take any final action on the matter at issue at the meeting.

If public comment is permitted, each individual’s public comment will be limited to no more than three (3) minutes. If a number of persons wish to provide Public Comment, the Board Chair may further reduce the time allocated to each individual, or may request that individuals instead submit written comments.
