Written testimony received more than three business days before the meeting will be sent to Board members and posted on the website's meeting agenda. Written testimony received after this time but before the meeting will also be posted on the website’s meeting agenda by the start of the meeting. Any written testimony received after the last posting of testimony before the meeting and up until 11:59 p.m. of the meeting day will be posted as late testimony.

Each person has three minutes to testify, but the chairperson may change this time. You will hear a single bell when you have 30 seconds left. You will hear a double bell when your time is over, and your microphone may be automatically muted. Testifiers cannot give their time to other people.
Upon request, this notice is available in alternate/accessible formats.
