Public Comment
The Lebanon County Conservation District encourages and values input from the community on all subject areas that are under the guidance of the Lebanon County Conservation District Board of Directors and Staff.
Act 93 – The Sunshine Law – requires public comment be allowed before official action is taken at the public meeting. The District Board reserves the right to limit the time allotted for public comment. The Board has set aside a period at the beginning of each meeting to allow for comments on issues that relate to the planned business of the meeting. Public comment related to Nutrient Management Plan approval will be heard prior to action being taken on the plan.
The Lebanon County Conservation District Board of Directors and Staff adhere to the following when accepting public comment:
- The District welcomes public comment on actions take by the Board of Directors.
Presentations must be concise, constructive and respectful.
- We reserve the right to limit redundant comments.
- In case of a complex nature requiring a volume of commentary, we request that the comments
be submitted in writing one week in advance of the Board meeting so they may be addressed as
readily as possible at the meeting.
- If a group attends to comment on an issue, the Board may ask for one or two spokespersons of
the group to state the commentary for the group. Each individual will then have five minutes
to speak
- All individuals in attendance must conduct themselves in a courteous manner that is non-
disruptive.
- Inappropriate behavior such as outbursts, disorderly, disrespectful or boisterous conduct will
not be tolerated during the monthly meeting. The Chairman will issue one (1) warning to the
individual(s) responsible for the inappropriate behavior. Any additional incidents by the
individual(s) during the meeting will result in the Chairman dismissing the responsible
person(s) from the meeting.
