Commission Meeting Public Comment
The Peace Officer Standards Accountability Advisory Board (Board) operates under the requirements set forth by the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act (Bagley-Keene) under Government Code sections 11120 through 11132. Bagley-Keene generally requires that the Board publicly notice meetings, prepare agendas, allow public participation, and conduct meetings in a location accessible to public members unless specifically authorized by Bagley-Keene to meet in closed session.
Public comment will be limited in time at the discretion of the Board Chair. The public comment period preceding items on the agenda will allow members of the public to comment on items not on the agenda but that are within the Board's jurisdiction. The Board cannot act on or deliberate on items not on the agenda and can discuss the matter only to the extent necessary to determine whether it should be made an agenda item at a future meeting, to respond briefly to statements or questions posed during public comment or to request clarification, or to refer the item to staff. Agenda items may be taken out of order and action (e.g., voting) may be taken on any agenda item. Public comment relating to each item on the agenda will be allowed at the time each matter is heard. Members of the public who wish to participate during public comment may do so in person by attending the meeting, or, as stated hereafter, by telephonic means or by submitting written public comment.
Written public comment is intended to allow members of the public, if unable to attend in person, an opportunity to participate to the same degree as if they attended in person; as such, written comments should be limited to no more than three pages in length and longer written comment will not be accepted or distributed to Board members. To be considered for inclusion in the meeting record, written comments by no later than 10 a.m. on the fourth business day before the scheduled meeting. Accepted written public comments will be published on POST's website under the Public Comment section under the corresponding meeting date. Written public comments can be submitted via email to posadpc@post.ca.gov. Telephonic public comment can be made by dialing (669) 444-9171 US or (669) 900-6833 US and entering the Webinar ID: 817 3463 0494 and Passcode: 749503
