Exercising his right under Board policy, Chevalier asked Board Chair to place on the agenda for the next meeting discussion and possible action regarding statements and requests made by the public at the March 22 meeting | Published agenda for April does not clearly show such an item was placed there and will be discussed
Third District Paul Chevalier made an unusual request at the March 22 Governing Board meeting in Sedona. He asked that the Governing Board Chair, Deb McCasland, pursuant to Board policy 34.33, place on the “next” agenda an item for discussion and possible action that focuses on the statements and requests made by the public during open call at the Sedona meeting. (See video clip below.)
Chevalier commented that “when members of the public come to speak to the Governing Board during open call, that the Board members should carefully consider what they said. After all,” he continued, “the public took the time” to attend the Board meeting and “what they say should not be ignored” by the Board.
An examination of the summary agenda posted by the Governing Board for the April meeting does not appear to include this item. Possibly, it will be raised at a later time, or the agenda will be altered prior to Tuesday’s meeting to allow discussion and possible action on Mr. Chevalier’s request.
A short video clip of Mr. Chevalier’s request appears below.
