Individuals wishing to receive copies of the Board agendas may send their written request to the Deputy Clerk to the Board by mail at 9212 Winterberry Avenue, Covington, VA 24426 or by e-mail at mmunsey@co.alleghany.va.us.  Copies of attachments to the agenda are available for a cost of $0.25 per copy.  Please give your name, address, phone number, and e-mail address and indicate whether you want to receive the agenda by mail or e-mail. Your request to receive agendas is valid for one year and individuals are responsible for renewing their requests annually (per the Code of Virginia).

Citizens wanting to speak at the Board meeting have several opportunities:

* Name on Agenda with Topic - Persons wanting a topic placed on the agenda shall make the request to the County Administrator or Deputy Clerk to the Board.  The County Administrator will then report to the Chairman on the request.  The request must be made before noon on the Wednesday prior to any regular meeting.   

* Public Comment Periods - There is a public comment section near the beginning of each agenda that allows individuals a maximum of five minutes to speak.  Sign up at the Board meeting on the sheet next to the door if you would like to speak during the first Public Comment period.  Guidelines are available at the door for your information.  There is also a second Public Comment period toward the end of the meeting which also has a maximum of five minutes for individuals to speak. No sign up is needed for the second Public Comment.

* Public Hearing Comments - The public can speak on the topic of a public hearing that is on the agenda at the time of the public hearing and do not need to be placed on the agenda for this reason.

Individuals speaking at a Board meeting should come up to the podium and state their name and address. Any written statements or petitions should be presented to the Deputy Clerk for inclusion into the record.
