The Chair has the discretion to allow for an additional comment period immediately following the report presentations. Each speaker for public comment will have three minutes to testify and shall be advised by the Executive Secretary when one minute is remaining, followed by a 30 second warning. If 20 or more speakers sign up to testify, time is reduced to two minutes per individual. Persons who require interpretation services will be allotted an additional two minutes for testimony. Large groups addressing the same topic are encouraged to consolidate their remarks or select a spokesperson to provide testimony. Written testimony is appreciated and encouraged.
