Members of the public will be asked to use the virtual “Raise Hand” function in Zoom to indicate that they would like to provide comment. • Dial *9 on your phone’s dial pad to raise your hand if you are using the toll-free phone number. • Click the “Raise Hand” button if you are using the Zoom application on your computer or phone. For each agenda item, the moderator will identify attendees with raised hands by their screenname or the last 3 digits of their telephone number and will then unmute them. The moderator will then request that the attendee unmute their device to provide their full name, address, and comment for the record. The moderator will go down the list of attendees in the order presented by the Zoom application. The attendee list is ordered so that phone numbers are first, followed by an alphabetical list of the screen names of attendees accessing Zoom through a computer, tablet, or smartphone.
