The Board of Forestry and Fire Protection hosts in-person meetings for the Board and its Standing
Committees. These in-person meetings are not “teleconference” meetings within the meaning of the

public comment is required under Bagley-Keene only for those who are present at the physical
meeting location. However, as a courtesy, the Board may provide an option to observe a meeting
remotely for members of the public who cannot attend in person via webcast by completing
registration links available on the Board of Forestry and Fire Protection website

IMPORTANT BOARD MEETING INFORMATION
CONTACT INFORMATION
Those requiring further information regarding this meeting notice may contact Tony Andersen,
Executive Officer, State Board of Forestry and Fire Protection, P.O. Box 944246, Sacramento, CA,
94244-2460, (916) 653-8007. This meeting notice is also available in electronic format at: Board
Meeting Agendas and Schedules (http://bof.fire.ca.gov/business/meeting-agendas-and-annual-
schedules/). For meeting materials and register for webinars, go to: the Board's Website
(http://bof.fire.ca.gov).
WEBCAST
Please be advised: Because the Full Board, Committee, and/or Workshop meetings are convened
under the “in person” requirements (as opposed to the “teleconference” meeting requirements) of
the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act, the Board is not obligated to make those meetings available
via webcast or any other online or electronic means. As a result, the opportunity for the public to
attend and offer public comment via webcast is offered solely at the discretion of the Board. The
webcast option is supplemental to, and therefore exceeds, the public participation requirements
imposed by the Act. Also note that if a webcast option is provided, it may be subject to technology
limitations that may result in an impaired visual or auditory experience.
The Full Board, Committee, and/or Workshop meetings may be accessible for viewing via live
webcast. Board members will be in attendance at the meeting’s noticed locations, along with any
members of the public that choose to attend. Members of the public may register for the webinar(s)
at the Board's Website (http://bof.fire.ca.gov). Audio recordings of the full Board meeting may be
preserved and available on the Board’s website. Due to space limitations on its servers, the Board
does not preserve video recordings of its Board meetings and/or audio recordings of its committee
meetings or Workshops. The physical meetings may continue if the webinar broadcast is interrupted
or terminated for any reason.
Please see section on “Speaking at the Full Board or Committee Meeting” for instructions pertaining
to the potential ability for webcast attendees to offer verbal public comment as part of the physical
meeting.
PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES
Pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act, individuals who, because of a disability, need special
assistance to observe and participate in a State Board of Forestry and Fire Protection or a committee
meeting may request assistance by sending an email to Dan Stapleton, Acting Executive Officer, at
PublicComments@bof.ca.gov or by calling (916) 653-8007. Requests should be made one week in

from individuals with disabilities, the Board will swiftly resolve the request consistent with the Americans
with Disabilities Act.

Procedures Act (Chapter 3.5 (commencing with § 11340), Part 1, Division 3, Title 2, of the

SPEAKING AT THE FULL BOARD MEETING
Attendees at physical meeting location:
If you wish to speak on an agenda item, please fill out a "Speaker Card" and give it to Board staff
BEFORE the agenda item is heard. Cards will be available near the entrance of the meeting room. If
you wish to speak on a non-agenda item within the Board’s jurisdiction during the Public Forum
period of the Board meeting, please see the Public Forum section of this agenda.
The Board may limit the amount of time allocated to each person for public comment on an agenda
item, as authorized by the Bagley-Keene Opening Meeting Act. Depending on the circumstances,
time limits imposed for public comment typically range between three and five minutes per person.
Beverages, food, and sticks or any other objects with handles are strictly prohibited. Larger signs,
or signs with handles, may be left in the area outside the auditorium entrance for retrieval after the
meeting.
Attendees viewing webcast:
Meetings at which the Board members convene “in person” at the same physical location are not
“teleconference” meetings within the meaning of the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act, and the
corresponding provisions of Government Code sections 11123(b), 11123.2, and 11123.5 do not
apply. Accordingly, the public’s right to observe and offer public comment to the Board at these
meetings is guaranteed only for individuals attending at the physical meeting location. Although
the Board is not required to do so, as a courtesy, it may provide a supplemental option for the
public to observe its meetings via webcast. However, while the Board aspires for the webcast
technology to improve public access and transparency, the Board cannot guarantee the quality of
the audio or video webcast or the opportunity to provide public comment via the webcast.
The Board generally attempts to accommodate webcast attendees who wish to speak on an
agenda item, subject to any conditions imposed by the Board.

Webcast attendees will typically be recognized for such comments upon the conclusion of
comments made by attendees at the physical meeting location. As previously stated, the Board is
not responsible for technical difficulties that may preclude the Board from accepting verbal public
comment from webcast attendees at a meeting. Please be advised that the Board, at its
discretion, may limit speaking opportunities to attendees at the physical meeting location based on
circumstances such as time constraints or high levels of in-person participation at the physical
meeting location. In order to ensure consideration of your public comment, please either attend at
the physical meeting location or submit your comments in writing either before or after the meeting
to publiccomments@bof.ca.gov

your comment relates to a particular agenda item, please select the “Raise Hand” tool indicate your
request to comment at the beginning of or during the consideration of that agenda item in order to

request to comment during the Public Forum period, which will occur at the end of the meeting.

taken out of order.
