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.

ITEMS TO BE DECIDED WITHOUT ADDITIONAL TESTIMONY:

These Items 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. These items regardless of their agenda assigned number will be acted on 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.

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.
