Members of the public, having been recognized, will be allowed three (3) minutes each to address the Commission (unless the Chairman/Chairwoman specifies otherwise). 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. DR ● ● ● ● 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
