PUBLIC COMMENT & DECORUM
The city desires to allow a maximum opportunity for public comment. However, the
business of the Planning Commission must proceed in an orderly, timely manner. The
purpose of a Planning Commission meeting is to advise on subjects prescribed by the
City Council; it is not a public forum.
Public comment may be made in-person from the microphone, remotely via Zoom or by
phone during designated portions of the meeting. To speak during the meeting via
Zoom, press the Raise Hand button near the bottom of your Zoom window or press *9
on your phone. Please refrain from raising your hand until the Chair has announced
that the Commission has opened the public comment portion of the meeting. Your
name or the last three digits of your phone number will be called out when it is your turn
to speak. When using your phone to call in, you may need to press *6 to unmute
yourself. Speakers will be allotted 3 minutes per individual, unless revised by the chair.
Comments shall be made, first giving the speaker’s name and address. Anyone making
“out of order” comments may be subject to removal from the meeting.
Instead of making oral comments, written comments may be submitted to the Planning
Commission at PlanningComments@gigharborwa.gov.
All remarks shall be addressed to the commission as a body and not to any specific
commissioner. All speakers shall be courteous in their language and deportment and
shall not engage in or discuss or comment on personalities or indulge in derogatory
remarks or insinuations with regard to any commissioner, or any member of the staff or
the public.
There will be no demonstrations during or at the conclusion of any public comment.
These guidelines are intended to promote an orderly system of holding public
meetings, to give every person an opportunity to be heard and to ensure that no
individuals are embarrassed by voicing their opinions.
AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES (ADA) ACCOMMODATIONS
ADA accommodations can be provided upon request. Those requiring special
accommodations should contact the city clerk at cityclerk@gigharborwa.gov or (253)
