Special Committee of the Whole meetings are set as needed, usually on Tuesdays or Thursdays. To contact all board members with the same letter, address it to Genethia Hudley Hayes, President, at the same address and attach a cover note asking that the letter be distributed to all board members. You must give your name, phone number, whether you are speaking for yourself or a group and whether you are pro or con on the issue. Deadline for signing up is usually 10 a.m. on the day of the meeting. By board rule, only seven speakers are allowed for an action item, so it is suggested that you call well in advance.
All speakers have three minutes to address the board.
Any of the above provisions can be changed or waived by a majority vote or a consensus of board members.
