GUIDE FOR PERSONS INTENDING TO SPEAK
This guide has been prepared as an aid so that you will be able to express your opinions
briefly and clearly before the Commission and thus increase the effectiveness of your
presentation. Remarks are generally limited to three minutes.
1. State your name and address.
2. State the organization you represent, if any.
3. State whether for or against the proposal.
Your statement should include all pertinent facts within your knowledge; avoid gossip,
emotion and repetition. It is important to discuss only those matters relating to the hearing
and to tie your discussion of the facts directly to the decision you wish the Commission to
reach. A clear, concise and non-repetitive argument is impressive.
Note: The City of Long Beach provides reasonable accommodations in accordance with
the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. If a special accommodation is desired, or if an
agenda is needed in an alternative format, please call the Development Services
Department, 48 hours prior to the meeting at (562) 570-6941. The Development Services
Department e-mail at LBDS@longbeach.gov is available for correspondence purposes.
