[Amended 7-12-1993]
Any orderly person present at a meeting of the Board of Supervisors
may, upon recognition by the presiding officer, request permission
to address the Board, and the presiding officer may grant such request
if he considers it to be in the public interest so to do, and he shall
grant such request upon demand of any two Supervisors. When, as the
result of such an address to the Board, it appears that a subject
should be considered by the Board at a subsequent meeting, the County
Administrator shall place such matter on the agenda for the next regular
meeting of the Board of Supervisors.
