Sequence of obtaining member and public comment after agendized item has been read?

Second attempt here to reply.   The law states public comment must occur prior to action being taken by the Board.  Just looking for a best practice approach.  Perhaps it is: the chair reads the agendized item.  Seeks board comments and then public comments.  Once done, ask for a motion.   But should a motion and second come before any discussion?

Prior to action being taken by the board. It does not, however, provide a best practices method.  That said, would the chair request member discussion first, then public, and then seek a motion?

If all that is said on this matter is that "public comment must occur prior to action being taken by the Board," then it seems to me the board is free to take public comment in any manner it sees fit so long as it occurs prior to action being taken. RONR does not provide any best practices in this regard.

Since this appears to involve applicable law, it may also be advisable to seek legal advice on this matter.
