TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION: The Shasta County Elections Commission provides the members of the public with a Public Comment-Open Time period, where the public may directly address the Commission on any agenda item on the regular calendar and on the consent calendar and may also address the Commission on any matter not listed on the agenda that is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the Shasta County Elections Commission. In addition, members of the public may also comment on any item on the consent calendar before the Commission consideration of the item and may also comment on any item on the regular calendar before or during the Commission’s consideration of the item. Pursuant to the Brown Act (Govt. Code section 54950, et seq.), Commission action or discussion cannot be taken on non-agenda matters, but the Commission may briefly respond to statements or questions and/or schedule the matter on a subsequent Commission Agenda.

 

Persons wishing to address the Commission in the Board Room are requested to fill out a Speaker Request Form and provide it to the Clerk before the meeting begins. Submitting a Speaker Request Form is voluntary. Failure to submit a Speaker Request Form may result in the Chair not being aware of and acknowledging that a person wishes to make a public comment.

If you have documents for the members of the Shasta County Elections Commission to review, please provide a minimum of ten copies.

Each speaker is allocated three minutes to speak. Comments should be limited to matters within the subject matter jurisdiction of the Commission.

 

The Commission wishes to ensure that business is conducted in an orderly fashion and that all have an equal opportunity to observe and participate in the proceedings. Each person who addresses the Shasta County Elections Commission shall not use loud, threatening, profane, or abusive language which disrupts, disturbs, or otherwise impedes the orderly conduct of the Commission meeting.
