Rules for Public Participation 

Open Meetings Act

The final agenda is typically prepared one week prior to the Board meeting. All Board Action Items are initially classified under the Board Consent Action Item(s) and reviewed during the Board’s All Committees meeting, typically held the Tuesday prior to the monthly Board meeting. Items may be moved to the Board Discussion Action Items at the request of a Board member during that review. In accordance with Neb. Rev. Stat. § 84-1411(1) of the Nebraska Open Meetings Act, changes to this agenda may be made up to 24 hours before the scheduled commencement of the Board meeting, except in cases of emergency.

Documents presented in open session at Board meetings are available on the OPPD website and may also be inspected, upon request, at the office of the Corporate Secretary. Public comments will normally be heard before the Board votes on Board Action Items and again at the end of each Board meeting.
