Following the Governor’s directions to reduce public gatherings and practice social distancing to reduce the spread of COVID-19, in-person attendance by Board members and staff will be limited. With the exception of the Governing Board chair, all other Board members will be participating remotely. Only staff that are necessary for the meeting are attending in person at the Brooksville Headquarters.

If you want to provide input and listen to the meeting over the phone but not watch the meeting, skip to Step 2. If you want to provide input and watch the meeting presentations only, use the Skype option rather than the traditional livestream. The livestream is slightly delayed so it wouldn’t be in sync with the phone call.

- If you want to provide public input, the Chair will take a recess at the beginning of the meeting after asking if anyone from the public wishes to speak. During the recess, a staff member will take your name and the topic you wish to speak about over the phone. The staff member will create a blue card to be used by the Chair to call on you at the appropriate time during the meeting.
- Please be sure to mute your phone when not providing comment. During the conference call, *2 will mute or unmute your line.
