There are two parts to the Public Hearing Agenda: The Hearing Consent Agenda and the Regular Hearing Agenda.
Items are listed on the Hearing Consent Agenda because no testimony is expected. In the event a Commissioner or any member of the public wishes to testify regarding an item on the Consent Agenda, the item will be removed and considered with the Regular Hearing Agenda.
To offer public testimony on any of the cases on the Public Hearing Agenda, please attend in person or please log into the WebEx Events virtual meeting using a computer. Once logged into the meeting on your computer, please send a chat message to the host with your name, address, and the agenda item for which you wish to provide testimony so that the Chair can recognize you at the appropriate time for public testimony. Individuals will receive three minutes and HOA’s located with the notice area for the Hearing item will be granted ten minutes.
Unless otherwise stated by the Chair, a motion to approve the Hearing Consent Agenda shall include and be subject to staff’s findings, recommendations, and conditions as listed in the applicable Staff Report.
The public is entitled to testify on items under the Public Hearing Regular Agenda. Information on participation in hearings is provided in the County’s brochure, “Your Guide to Board of County Commissioners Hearings.” It may be obtained on the rack outside the hearing room or from the County Public Affairs Office at 303-271-8512.
