AT COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD MEETING:

Citizen comment will be accepted during the Citizen Comment portion of the meeting on any non-agenda item, agenda item, future agenda item or topic of relevance to the CRA. Citizen comment related to any public hearing item shall be provided during the duly noticed public hearing in order to maintain an accurate record of the proceedings. All citizen comments related to quasi-judicial items are required to be under oath and such comments will be invited to be presented during the duly noticed public hearing for such items.

If an individual (or agent) wishes to address the CRA Board, they should complete a comment card available at the back of the Chamber and submit such card to the CRA Program Administrator.

At the appropriate time during the meeting, the Chair will call speakers to come forward. After being recognized by the Chair, the individual should come to the podium and, for the public record, state their name and address, and then provide any relevant comments or testimony related to the item they wish to address. In the case of an agent, they shall identify themselves and the party they represent.

The speaker should then proceed to state their position or present their information. An individual appearance for citizen comment will be limited to three (3) minutes unless additional time is permitted by the Chair or consensus of the CRA Board.

Additional time will be allowed (up to 10 minutes at the discretion of the Chair or consensus of the CRA Board) for public hearing items if the speaker is officially representing a group of five or more people, provided that written authorization is provided that the person is authorized to speak on behalf of the group.

Note: If handouts are being distributed, please provide a minimum of ten (10) copies to the Program Administrator. If you wish to display a drawing or rendering, contact Karen Kyser, as indicated above, prior to the meeting. Any submissions commented on, photographs, letters, renderings, etc. will be kept by the CRA for the official record.
