Agenda — 13 items
- 1 Welcome to the City of Clearwater Community Development Board (CDB) meeting. We are glad to have you join us. Charts at the end of the agenda show the order in which CDB meetings are conducted, as well as how much time each person has to speak during each type of agenda item. An oath will be administered swearing in all participants in public hearing cases, including persons wanting to speak to agenda items. There are two capacities in which you may to speak on an agenda item during the meeting: 1. Request Party Status (Quasi-Judicial Hearings Only): Community Development Code Section 4-206 requires that any person seeking to: personally testify, present evidence, argument and witness, cross-examine witnesses, appeal the decision and speak on reconsideration requests should request party status during the case discussion. If the CDB grants a person party status, that person is then entitled to these listed rights. The CDB Chair will invite persons requesting party status to identify themselves at the beginning of each applicable case. During the hearing, persons granted party status will have five minutes to present to the Board, time allocated to cross-examine witnesses, and three minutes for closing remarks. 2. Comments by the Public: Persons not requesting party status may still provide comments about a case. The Chair will announce when it is the appropriate time. If you wish to speak you should come to the podium and wait to be recognized, then state and spell your name and provide your address. Persons speaking before the CDB shall be limited to three minutes unless an individual is representing a group in which case the Chairperson may authorize a reasonable amount of time up to 10 minutes. The City strongly supports and fully complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
