Ditto for the series of followon WebBoard meetings.

In addition to the virtual meeting, the peer reviewers will participate in a series of WebBoard meetings. A WebBoard meeting is a meeting using a website (the “WebBoard”) to allow public access to and viewing of communications among the members of the body whose meeting is being noticed. During these meetings, the members may post and review written comments, questions, documents, edits to documents and other matters. No comments from the public will be taken during these meetings. At the conclusion of each meeting, the WebBoard will be closed, and no further posting will be allowed. No voting will take place during these meetings.

All WebBoard postings will be archived as a public record and will be available for inspection and copying. Additionally, the District anticipates that it will make the postings available on the District’s website for a limited period of time thereafter.

The District has a limited number of computers available for use by the public to participate in this meeting. Such computers will be located at the District’s offices located at 9225 CR 49, Live Oak, FL 32060 and will be made available on a first-come, first-served basis. Any person wishing to use a District computer to participate in this meeting must so advise the District at least 48 hours before the meeting by contacting: (386)362-1001.
