Good Morning~

The Board will be holding its next Board meeting on Wednesday, April 27, at 10:00 am. Please note we have transitioned to “MS Teams” as our virtual meeting platform. See below for updated instructions on connecting to Board meetings.

Following guidance issued in the Governor’s Proclamation 20-28 (Open Public Meetings act and Public Records Act) issued March 24, 2020, and as it has been extended, this meeting will not be held in the Boardroom as regularly scheduled. This meeting will be held via MS Teams only. The online link to observe and the number for the public to dial in and listen to the meeting are noted below. The agenda is here, and additional documents can be found on the Board’s calendar page, here.

Written summaries for Public Hearings and General Comments are appreciated. Please submit your comments to dustin.dickson@lcb.wa.gov.

If interested, you can also provide oral comment during a “Public Hearing” or at the end of the meeting during “General Public Comments” via MS Teams. If you wish to speak to the Board during a “Public Hearing” or “General Public Comments," please e-mail dustin.dickson@lcb.wa.gov before that agenda item on the day of the meeting, but preferably by close-of-business on Tuesday, April 26. Please be sure to clarify which item you would like to speak to. Dustin will provide additional instructions including a link to connect to MS Teams through your computer or device. Comments will be limited to four minutes per person. These instructions are separate from the information below which is for observation/listening only.
