Testimony must pertain to items on the agenda. In the meeting controls at the top of the Teams screen, select RAISE YOUR HAND. Staff will add your name to the testifier list and will lower your hand. You may check your place in line by accessing the Testifier Log, with the link posted in Chat. When it is your turn to testify, staff will call your name and will allow you to unmute your video and microphone. State your name, if you choose to do so, and also identify the item number(s) on which you wish to testify. To testify via phone, please call in to the phone number and enter the meeting ID noted on the first page of this agenda.

Each testifier will be allowed to speak for up to three minutes on each item. The time limits for testimony may be modified, if the modification is initiated by the presiding officer and approved by a majority of the Council; provided that a modification would apply equally to all testifiers and all items. No further oral testimony by the testifier on the item shall be permitted. An individual's request to testify may be deemed withdrawn if the individual does not answer when called to testify. If the connection between any testifier and the video conference is lost, the meeting will still continue.
