REGISTRATION GUIDELINES FOR ADDRESSING THE PARKS, RECREATION AND
BEAUTIFICATION BOARD
Due to COVID-19 precautions, members of the public will not be able to attend the October 12, 2020,
Parks, Recreation and Beautification Board meeting in person. To accommodate and receive input on
agenda items, citizens will be able to participate in one of the following ways (NOTE: Other than public
hearings, citizens are only able to comment one time per agenda item; citizens cannot use both methods to
comment on a single agenda item. Public comments are not held for work session reports.):
• Virtual White Card – On October 8, 2020, the agenda was posted online at
www.cityofdenton.com/publicmeetings. Once the agenda is posted, a link to the Virtual White Card, an
online form, will be made available under the main heading on the webpage. Within this form, citizens may
indicate support or opposition and submit a brief comment about a specific agenda item. Comments may
be submitted up until the start of the meeting, at which time, the Virtual White Card form will be closed.
Similar to when a citizen submits a white card to indicate their position on the item, these comment forms
will be sent directly to members of the Parks, Recreation and Beautification Board and recorded by the
Secretary.
Members review comments received in advance of the meeting and take that public input into
consideration prior to voting on an agenda item. The Chair will announce the number of Comment Cards
submitted in support or opposition to an item during the public comment period. Comments will not be
read during the meeting. The Secretary will reflect the number of comments submitted in favor/opposition
to an item, the registrant’s name, address, and (summary of) comments within the Minutes of the Meeting,
as applicable.
OR
• By phone – Citizens wishing to speak over the phone during this meeting, may call (940) 349-7800
beginning 30 minutes prior to the meeting start time. Comments by phone will be accepted until the item is
opened for discussion by the Chair. When the call is initially received, a staff member will receive the
caller’s information and either: 1) offer to call the citizen back when it is time for them to speak, or 2)
record the caller’s information, support or opposition, and comment. If the caller chooses to record their
support or opposition, rather than speaking during the meeting, the Chair will announce the number of
comments submitted in support or opposition to the item. If the caller wishes to receive a call back, the
voice of each caller will be broadcast into the meeting during the public commenting time of their desired
agenda item. Individuals will be able to comment once per agenda item, no matter the method.
