Regular Hearing: Items (Heard no earlier than 9 a.m. on Saturday, and no earlier than 6:45 p.m. on Tuesday).Speakers intending to address Regular Agenda items first must check if the item is on the agenda for the Saturday or the Tuesday recessed meeting, then submit a speaker slip to the Clerk before the first speaker on the item is called; no slips will be accepted after that time. Individuals may speak for a maximum of two-to-three minutes per agenda item; civic or community organizations representatives may speak for a maximum of two, three, or five minutes. The Clerk will call the two minute speakers first; followed by the three minute speakers second; and, finally, the five minute speakers in the order in which their slips are received in each category.
Individuals may download speaker slips in advance of the meeting by visiting the County Board
website, and completing the form online. However, speakers must hand the completed slip to the Clerk in the Board Room the day of the hearing. The Clerk will not accept speaker slips in advance of the meeting.
The Board will accept written materials, not repeating oral testimony. Residents must provide eight copies of the information for County Board members, staff and the public record, and give it directly to the Clerk.
