3. Roll Call

4. Audience to Visitors
The President will ask the audience if they have any comments on the items on the agenda. This gives the public the opportunity to comment on agenda items prior to Board decisions/actions. Each community member wanting to comment to the board will be granted two minutes to speak. Please be prepared to give your name and address. The Board will listen to public comment in accordance with district policy 213 and direct questions to the superintendent or the appropriate staff.
Please remember you are making comments in a public meeting. Should you make comments that are considered defamatory in nature, you, as an individual, may be subject to legal action brought by the subject of your comments. Board members will listen to all comments but will not respond to them, nor will the Board take action on items not posted on the agenda. If the Board feels that something commented on requires a response they will refer it to the District Administration to respond to at a later date.
5. Approval of Agenda
If members have items to be added to the agenda, now is the time. If you have items that you want removed from the agenda, or removed from the Consent Agenda for discussion, make the request at this time. The President will call for a motion and a second to approve the agenda.
