The Board of County Commissioners conducts the business of Washoe County and

comments or behavior may or may not be given prior to removal. The
viewpoint of a speaker will not be restricted, but reasonable restrictions may

Responses
to Public Comments.
The County Commission can deliberate or take action only if a matter has been
listed on an agenda properly posted prior to the meeting. 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, Requests for Information, Topics for Future Agendas and
