Chokshi emphasizes existing mechanisms for public accountability through written comments and public testimony at Board of Health meetings as the most important channels for incorporating community feedback.

And if the community stakeholders raise concerns about a board action, how do you respond and incorporate their feedback?

Dave A. Chokshi

Yes, thank you.

Dave A. Chokshi

This is another very important part of how the Board of Health remains publicly accountable.

Dave A. Chokshi

As I briefly alluded to earlier, you know, there are existing mechanisms through written public comments as well as public testimony during Board of Health meetings.

Dave A. Chokshi

Those are the most important mechanisms to ensure public accountability.

Sandra Ung

Thank you.
