notice
All Authority Board and Committee meetings are held in-person with a hybrid component for public participation. A teleconferencing/video option is available for the public at Authority Board, Standing Committee, and Advisory Committee meetings. Public Comment for the public meetings can be provided by either submitting written public comments to the Clerk as identified on each agenda or verbally when called during an item while attending a meeting in-person, via teleconference, or by phone as per the instructions on the Agenda under the Teleconferencing Special Notice.
All written comments should be 350 words max, which corresponds to approximately three (3) minutes of speaking time. Public comments received by 5:00 PM the day before the scheduled meeting will be distributed to the members before the meeting and posted on the Authority’s website. Comments submitted after that time will be distributed to the members and posted as soon as possible. Written public comments received after this 5:00 PM cutoff time will be distributed to the members and eventually posted to the website, but only if received before the start of the meeting. We ask that you state your first and last name, verify the item that you wish to speak on, and then you will be allowed three minutes to address the members when your name is called.
To comment by video conference, click the “Raise Your Hand” button to request to speak when the Public Comment period is opened on an Agenda item. You will then be unmuted when it is your turn to make your comments for up to three (3) minutes. After the allotted time, you will then be re-muted.
To comment by phone, you will be prompted to “Raise Your Hand” by pressing “*9” to request to speak when the public comment is opened on an Agenda item. You will then be unmuted when it is your turn to make your comments for up to three (3) minutes. After the allotted time, you will then be re-muted.
To comment in-person, please complete a Public Speaker card and hand it to the Clerk. You will be called upon when it is your turn to make your comments for up to three (3) minutes.
Please refer to the Teleconferencing Special Notice on each meeting agenda for specific instructions on how to submit Public Comment requests to ensure they are sent timely to the Clerk for that specific meeting.
