in the meeting as an accommodation to the public.
ITEMS
TO BE DECIDED WITHOUT ADDITIONAL TESTIMONY:
These
Items identified with a symbol (ž) on the agenda are regular
items which are recommended for approval or continuance by staff with the

item. These items regardless of their
agenda assigned number will be acted upon by the Commission in one motion at
the beginning of the meeting.
