May 21, 2001 Note: Extensive citizen comment has already been heard at prior Board meetings on the proposed amendments to the Military Recruitment Ban Policy and the Environmentally Sustainable Business Practices. Therefore, tonight, up to 15 minutes of citizen comment on each of these two issues will be allotted for citizen comment. The 15 minutes reserved tonight for citizen comment on the proposed amendments to the Military Recruitment Ban Policy have already been filled by citizens who contacted the Board office prior to this evening’s meeting. The Board always welcomes written comments from the public.
