Meetings of the Herbert Wescoat Memorial Library Board of Trustees are public meetings, which means the meetings may be observed by members of the public. Board meetings are not open meetings, however, which means observers may not participate in the work of the board. The agenda of the board meeting shall include an item for public comment. This is the only time during a board meeting that the public may contribute to the meeting. The Board accepts comments, but may not respond to them, preferring instead to consider them at another time. Each person wishing to make comment to the Board shall (a) be given three (3) minutes to speak and (b) shall provide his name and address for inclusion in the official records of the Board. The minutes of the Board will reflect the comments made by members of the public. Copies of Board proceedings are available when requested in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code.
