4 <br /> Attachment B <br /> Excerpt from Draft Minutes from the BOCC Regular Meeting on September 17, 2019 <br /> 2. Public Comments <br /> a. Matters not on the Printed Agenda <br /> Neal Galloway submitted a written petition requesting that all Board of County <br /> Commissioner (BOCC) meetings allow for public comment, in order to allow timely and open <br /> dialogue between the public and its elected officials. He said denying public comment at a work <br /> session could be interpreted as a refusal to consider opposing views, or an intent to forge an <br /> ordinance, which limits the rights of some citizens, under the guise of public safety. He said <br /> personal convenience of the BOCC should not be the primary concern regarding meetings. <br /> Chair Rich said the Board will bring this issue for discussion at a work session soon. <br />
