ORDER OF BUSINESS:

Agenda items that do not have a specified hearing time listed on the agenda may be heard at any time during the meeting at the discretion of the Commission. Items listed on the Consent Agenda are considered at the beginning of the meeting. Items that generate a large turnout of interested citizens at a Commission meeting may be heard early in the meeting as an accommodation to the public.

CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS:

Consent Agenda Items as identified with a symbol (þ) on the agenda are regular items which are recommended for approval or continuance by staff with the applicant's consent concerning conditions of approval, when the applicant has signed any required project revision statement and when no member of the Commission or public indicates a desire to comment or ask questions about the item. Consent items, regardless of their agenda assigned number will be acted upon by the Commission in one motion at the beginning of the meeting.

Applicants having items listed on the Consent Agenda need not speak unless they disagree with the staff recommendation or wish to comment. Items removed from the Consent Agenda, will be heard in the numerical order listed on the agenda.

If you arrive after the meeting has started and have any question concerning whether or not an agenda item has already been heard by the Commission, please check with the Secretary of the Commission.

PERSONS WISHING TO SPEAK CONCERNING AN AGENDA ITEM:

If you wish to speak on an item on the Agenda and under discussion by the Commission, you may do so upon receiving recognition from the Chairperson. After being recognized by the Chairperson, please step to one of the microphones and state your name and address and make your presentation. No comment or testimony shall be shouted from the audience. All comments are to be directed to the Commission, including inquiries requiring staff response.

CONDUCT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT AND TESTIMONY:

When speaking on an item, try to limit comments and testimony to 5 minutes. If there is a controversial item with many speakers from the public, the Chairperson may set exact time limits to allow everyone time to be heard. For Public hearing items “applicants” are allowed 10 minutes to speak to make their formal presentation of their project and will be given the opportunity to rebut all other testimony.

Written testimony should be limited; any lengthy reports or materials submitted may result in the Commission, upon consideration, continuing the item to a subsequent meeting.

When speaking, please keep to the topic at hand and try not to repeat comments. This is to allow all projects on the agenda to be heard and to allow everyone present time to speak.
