On July 31, 2023, the WCFD Board signed into policy Resolution 2023-0727 to establish guidelines for public comment in Board meetings. This policy sets procedures to ensure the public has an opportunity to be heard by the Board during their business meetings while also maintaining decorum, respect and order while conducting the business of the WCFD.
The Open Door Law, also known as Indiana Code 5-14-1.5-1, states that government agencies must hold official meetings of a majority of their governing body, such as council or board meetings, publicly. As a citizen, you have the right to attend and record these meetings.
From Handbook on Indiana’s Public Access Laws, page 12:
Do I have the right to speak at an open meeting? The ODL does not guarantee the right to speak at public meetings. Although an individual has the right to attend and observe all public proceedings, no specific statutory authority allows an individual to appear before and address a governing body. A governing body may choose to provide an opportunity for comments or discussion at any time or may allow a limited number of comments or limited amount of time for comments on matters under consideration. During certain meetings, a provision for public comment may be required by statute or local ordinance. https://www.in.gov/pac/files/pac-handbook.pdf
