Members of the public have the opportunity to observe board meetings in-person or online and to offer public comment as follows:

• The meeting is held in person at the KEET studios atop Humboldt Hill in Eureka.  Board members are also allowed to attend electronically.
• Written comments may be emailed at least 7 days in advance of the meeting to boardsecretary@keet-tv.org. To the extent possible, all written comments will be distributed to members of the board prior to the beginning of the board or committee meeting.
• Members of the public who wish to offer public comment during the meeting may do so in-person or virtually by providing a written request at least 48 hours in advance of the meeting to  boardsecretary@keet-tv.org. The request should identify the agenda item the speaker wishes to address or the subject of the intended presentation if it is unrelated to an agenda item. Efforts will be made to accommodate each individual who has requested to speak.

The purpose of public comment is to provide information to the board and not evoke an exchange with board members. Questions that board members may have resulting from public comment will be referred to appropriate staff for response.

In fairness to all speakers, and to allow board members to hear from as many speakers as possible while at the same time conducting the public business of their meetings within the time available, public comment will be limited to 1 minute per speaker (or less depending on the number of speakers wishing to address the board.) 

Ceding, pooling, or yielding remaining time to other speakers is not permitted. Speakers are requested to make the best use of their public comment opportunity and follow the established rules.

In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, those requiring accommodations should notify the board at least 72 hours prior to the meeting in order to provide sufficient time to make arrangements for accommodations.
