The Board and staff welcome information on pertinent problems, but comments at the meeting should be brief and directed to specifics of the case to enable the Board to take the appropriate action.  Whenever possible, lengthy testimony should be presented to the Board in writing and only a summary of pertinent points presented verbally.  In order to give everyone an opportunity to be heard, comments should have been previously submitted in writing and a time limit on presentations may be imposed on any agenda item.  Speakers should plan to summarize their key points as much as possible.  The Chair will allocate time to individual speakers according to the number of speakers present.  For scheduling purposes, requests for extended speaking times should be submitted to staff as soon as possible after the agenda is mailed.  The Chair will decide whether to grant such requests, and staff will let the speakers know if the Chair granted the request.  The Chair may change the order of the agenda items at any time.
