PUBLIC COMMENTS - NON AGENDA MATTERS AND PUBLIC HEARINGS

Any person wishing to address the Commission on any matter, either under the Public Comments section of the Agenda or scheduled items or public hearings, must fill out a “Request to Speak” form available at the door. The completed form must be submitted to the Secretary prior to the Agenda item being called by the Chairperson. In speaking to the Commission, members of the public shall be limited to three minutes per person, except for the applicant for entitlement. The Chairperson may establish an overall time limit for comments on a particular Agenda Item. Members of the public must direct their questions to the Chairperson of the Commission and not to other members of the Commission, the applicant, the Staff, or the audience.

PUBLIC COMMENTS - AGENDA MATTERS OTHER THAN PUBLIC HEARINGS

This is the time for members of the public to address the Commission on matters, which are on the Commission’s consent calendar or on matters, which do not appear on the Commission’s Agenda. Any person wishing to address the Commission on these matters must fill out a “Request to Speak” form available at the door. The completed form must be submitted to the Secretary prior to the Agenda item being called by the Chairperson. Under state law, no action can be taken on comments from the public if the matter is not on the Commission’s Agenda unless the Commission makes a determination that (1) an emergency exists or (2) that the need to take action arose after the posting of the Agenda and that action must be taken before the next regular meeting of the Commission. There shall be an overall time limit of 15 minutes for the Public Comments portion of the Agenda.
