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
