A meeting of the Board is typically held four times a year. Board meetings must provide an opportunity for the public to address the board on items of public interest within the board's jurisdiction.California's Davis-Stirling Act requires associations give notice of board meetings, including an agenda of the meeting. The forms constitute the bulk of those necessary for the day to day keeping of the corporate formalities in a California corporation. One best practice for governance teams during public comment is to set a specific time limit for each speaker and for each agenda item. If you wish to speak to the Board, please fill out a speaker's slip located in the box on the wall in the anteroom as you enter the Board Chambers. Regular Board meetings are normally held on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month in the EBMUD Board Room. It is best to keep your position on the board as you would in any other professional job and keep your personal agenda off the table. With the board's permission, the Secretary may electronically record open board meetings to assist in the preparation of minutes. The Board shall comply with the Brown Act and other applicable laws of the State of California with regard to open meetings and Board agendas.
