The Board of Supervisors of the County of Henrico is committed to allowing members of the public the opportunity to offer comments and suggestions for the efficient and effective administration of government. In addition to public hearings, a special time is set aside at each Board meeting for the purpose of receiving such comments and suggestions. All resident comments addressed to the Board during the Public Comment period shall be subject to the following procedures:
A Public Comment period is held at each regular Board meeting for topics not appearing on the meeting agenda. The comment period will be limited to a maximum of thirty minutes unless the Board elects to extend the time limit.
Each resident may speak for a maximum of five minutes during the Public Comment period. Subjects requiring more time for discussion may be added by unanimous consent of the Board to the end of the general agenda at the request of the resident.
Residents who wish to speak during the Public Comment period are encouraged to register to speak.
Residents will be acknowledged by the Board Chairman and will address all comments to the Board. Resident speakers will address the Board from the speaker’s lectern at the back of the room and will begin their remarks by stating their name and address. Discussions between resident speakers and members of the audience will not be allowed.
Residents who have prepared written remarks or supporting documents are encouraged to leave a copy of such remarks and documents with the Sheriff’s Deputies to give to the Clerk or you may email the Clerk at [email protected]
