2.      Chairperson will then call for presentation by applicant followed by questions from the Commission.

 

3.      Chairperson will then call for public comments in the following order:

      Each speaker must come to the podium and state your name and address for the record.  The Chairperson reserves the right to establish a time limit for all speakers to afford everyone the opportunity to speak and in consideration of other items appearing on the agenda.  At the conclusion of each speaker’s comments, the Commission will have the opportunity to ask questions.
