NOTE: Large groups may wish to, but are not required to, appoint a spokesperson for the group, in which case the Chair may grant the spokesperson additional time to speak. ● Generally, those desiring to speak “for” the request will be allowed to speak first, followed by those desiring to speak “against” the request. ● Persons wishing to speak should raise their hand to be recognized by the Chairman/Chairwoman. Once recognized, please stand and state your name and address. ● Comments should be concise and limited to issues related to the request. ● When the Chairman/Chairwoman believes that the Commission has received sufficient citizen input to decide on the application, the public hearing will be closed and the applicant and/or the Staff will be given an opportunity to address any issues brought out during public comment. ● Chairman will then allow Commission members to make comments or ask questions of anyone present to clarify issues or provide additional information. ● The Chairman will call for a motion and a second on the motion. Commission members may speak to the motion, any amendments, or points of parliamentary procedure. ● If a motion is forthcoming, a voice vote will be taken. If the decision is not unanimous, then the Chairman will direct a roll call vote. ● If a motion is NOT forthcoming, the request will be considered “Denied” for lack of a motion. PLEASE NOTE: The above-procedure is provided to serve as a guideline for the conduct of public hearings. The chairman/chairwoman is not limited and/or constrained by this procedure and, under certain circumstances, may deem it necessary to deviate from this guideline. 3
