PUBLIC INPUT AT BOARD MEETINGS:

GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT
An opportunity for the public to address the Board on public interest items will be provided for up to one (1) minute per person, for a cumulative total of ten (10) minutes for the General Public Comment segment of each regular meeting. Testimony shall be limited in content to matters which are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the Board. The Board may not take any action on matters discussed during the Public Comment period.
MULTIPLE AGENDA ITEMS PUBLIC COMMENT
The Board will also provide an opportunity for members of the public wishing to speak on more than one agenda item during Multiple Agenda Item Comment for up to one (1) minute per item, up to a total of three (3) minutes per meeting. This is the only time to speak on more than one (1) agenda item.

SINGLE AGENDA ITEM
The Board will also provide an opportunity for members of the public wishing to speak on only one agenda item for up to one (1) minute.
VOTING AND DISPOSITION OF ITEMS
Items require a majority vote of the entire membership of the Board (3 votes) for approval.
Any member of the Board may move to "reconsider" any vote on any item on the agenda, except to adjourn, suspend the Rules, or where an intervening event has deprived the Board of jurisdiction, providing that said member originally voted on the prevailing side of the item. The motion to "reconsider" shall only be in order once during the meeting, and once during the next regular meeting. The member requesting reconsideration shall identify for all members present the Agenda number, meeting date and subject matter previously voted upon. A motion to reconsider is not debatable and shall require an affirmative vote of three members of the Board.
The Board rules provide that all items adopted by the Board will not be distributed or presented to the Mayor, or other designated office, until the adjournment of the regular Board meeting following the date of the Board action. A motion to send an item "forthwith", if adopted by three (3) votes, suspends these rules and requires the Board Secretariat to forward the matter to the Mayor, or other office, without delay.
