In addition, members of the public may also comment on any item on the consent calendar before the Board's consideration of the item and may also comment on any item on the regular calendar before or during the Board's consideration of the item. Members of the public may also address matters scheduled for public hearings at the time such public hearings are opened for comment. Pursuant to the Brown Act (Govt. Code section 54950, et seq.), Board action or discussion cannot be taken on non-agenda matters, but the Board may briefly respond to statements or questions and, if deemed necessary, refer the subject matter to the appropriate department for follow-up and/or to schedule the matter on a subsequent Board Agenda.
