Meetings of TPT’s Board of Trustees, Board Committees and Community Advisory Board are generally open to the public.
Any member of the public may attend any open meeting for the purpose of observing the meeting. Attendees are not required to register their names or provide TPT with any other information as a condition of attendance. However, in-person visitors may be asked to provide ID to building security at some meeting locations, and TPT may elect to provide virtual on-site access to open meetings.
Members of the public interested in attending an open meeting virtually should contact Viewer Services at (651) 229-1330 or toll free at (866) 229-1300 within the five days in advance to obtain dial-in instructions.
Portions of meetings may be closed or conducted in “executive session” to allow discussion of confidential matters. Visitors will not be permitted to observe closed sessions.
It is the policy of TPT to comply with the open meetings requirement for public broadcast stations as set forth in the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. 47 USC § 396(k)(4). View the complete policy. For additional information please contact Viewer Services at (651) 229-1330 or toll free at (866) 229-1300.
Open meetings.
All meetings of the TPT Board of Trustees and Advisory Board including their committees, during which official TPT
business is being conducted, will be open to the public preceded by a reasonable notice to the public at least one week
in advance, except in the event of an emergency. The notice shall state the dates, locations and times of the meetings.
If meetings are held telephonically, via video conference or via the internet, accommodations for public observation
will be made and indicated.
Reasonable notice.
TPT will post a notice on its web site at www.tpt.org of all applicable meetings and make on-air announcements on at
least three consecutive days once each calendar quarter explaining this policy and providing information about how the
public can obtain information regarding specific dates, times and locations. Notice of the meetings will also be
provided via letter, email, or phone, if so specifically requested by a particular person.
Closed Sessions.
Portions of the meetings or entire meetings may be closed to consider matters relating to individual employees,
proprietary information, litigation and other matters requiring confidential advice of counsel, commercial or financial
information obtained from a person on a privileged or confidential basis, or the purchase of property or services
whenever premature exposure of such purchase would compromise the business interests of TPT. Notice of closed meetings
will be made in the same manner as all open meeting notifications. If a meeting is closed to the public for any of these
permissible reasons, a written statement containing an explanation of the reasons for closing the meeting will be made
publicly available, within a reasonable period of time, afterwards. For more information regarding closed sessions or
canceled meetings please click here.
No Pre-Registration Required.
Persons who desire to attend TPT meetings will not be required to register or provide information in order to attend a
meeting. However, in some instances, security protocols or other procedures may require attendees to provide
identification.
