NOTE: Large groups may wish to, but are not required to, appoint a spokesperson for the group, in AF 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.
