The law allows the public to address the Governing Board on any matter, whether or not it is on the agenda, but the law prohibits action by the Governing Board on nonagenda items.  Board Bylaw 9323 states that “Individual speakers shall be allowed three minutes to address the Board on each agenda or nonagenda item.  The Board shall limit the total time for public input on each item to 20 minutes.  With Board consent, the president may increase or decrease the time allowed for public presentation, depending on the topic and the number of persons wishing to be heard. The president may take a poll of speakers for or against a particular issue and may ask that additional person speak only if they have something new to add.”
