WSKG POLICY ON PUBLIC
COMMENT
AT BOARD OF TRUSTEES' MEETINGS
The WSKG Board of Trustees
("Board") welcomes relevant constructive
comment from the public at its meetings. So that the
process will be efficient and productive, the
following protocol is established.
1. A "Public Comment" line will be included
in the agenda for regular Board of Trustees' meetings
which will be placed after all Committee Reports and
before Trustee Comments.
2. Public comments, and any matter submitted, where a response is
requested from the Board must be in writing (e-mail is acceptable)
and submitted to WSKG's Chief Executive Officer at least five (5)
business days prior to the next Board meeting. All written responses
will be reviewed by WSKG's General Counsel and will be entered in
the public file of the corporation.
The total time for public comments will be limited to twenty (20)
minutes, with
each person limited up to five (5) minutes. Priority
recognition will be given to those persons who have
not previously addressed the Board.
3. Written inquiries sent to the Board, or comments
made at Board meetings, must be relevant to the
Board's functions and responsibilities, i.e., station
mission, policy, finances, strategic planning, and
must not address issues to which the Board has
responded in the previous nine (9) months, a
determination of which will be made by the Chair.
4. This policy is subject to cancellation or
modification, at any time, in the discretion of the
Board.
This policy will be published on WSKG's web site,
will be available at WSKG's front desk, and will be
handed out to the public at Board meetings.
WSKG's management and staff are also available to
hear and respond to public comments. To submit a comment to WSKG
directly, rather than the Board of Trustees, please click here.
