We have resumed having meetings in person at the library while practicing social distancing. Pursuant to the State of Nevada Governor’s Guidance for COVID-19 safety measures, Pahrump Library District will hold public meetings with limited in-person capacity.
* Members of the public who wish to address the Library Board of Trustees may come forward and speak on any topic that is relevant to or within the authority of the Library Board. The Board respects the rights of citizens to present differing opinions and views. The public comment period at library district board meeting shall be limited to a maximum of forty-five (45) minutes for both general public comment items.
Remarks by speakers during any public comment period shall be limited to three (3) minutes each. Additionally, public comment of up to three minutes per person may be heard during individual action items. The Chairman reserves the right to reduce the time allowed for public comment. The Chairman may prohibit comment if the content of the comments is a topic that is not relevant to, or within the authority of the Board, or if the content of the comments is willfully disruptive of the meeting by being irrelevant, repetitious, slanderous, offensive, inflammatory, irrational or amounting to personal attacks or interfering with the rights of other speakers. If you believe your item requires extended discussion or action, you may ask a member of the Board to place it on the Board’s agenda for a future meeting. No action may be taken on a matter raised under general public comment of the agenda unless the matter is noticed on a Board agenda as an item on which action may be taken.
Items on the agenda without a time designation may be taken out of order. The Chairman may combine two or more agenda items for consideration. The Chairman may remove an item from the agenda or delay discussion relating to an item on the agenda at any time. Items on the agenda without a time designation may not necessarily be considered in the order in which they appear on the agenda.
