Public Comment

Each regularly scheduled meeting begins with an opportunity for anyone to make public comments. During this time, you can let your voice be heard by speaking directly to the entire Dare County Board of Commissioners for up to five minutes on any topic or item of concern.

In an effort to encourage public participation, the Dare County Board of Commissioners accepts public comments from two locations: the Dare County Board of Commissioners meeting room in Manteo as well as through an interactive video link at the Fessenden Center Annex in Buxton.
