For more information on testifying, please visit https://www.mauicounty.us/teams/ Oral testimony on any agenda item will be accepted at the beginning of the meeting and prior to Council's deliberation on each section of the agenda. 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. Follow the instructions provided on the call to raise your hand to be added to the testifier list. When it is your turn to testify, the Clerk will call the last four digits of the testifier’s phone number. You will be able to unmute yourself when called to testify. 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 An individual's request to testify may be deemed withdrawn if the individual does not answer when called to testify.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. If a meeting participant wishes to testify anonymously, log in to the meeting with "anonymous" as your name and virtually raise your hand as described above. DECORUM. Any person who behaves in a manner that disrupts, disturbs, or impedes the orderly conduct of any Council meeting can, at the discretion of the presiding officer or a majority of present Council members, be ejected or banned from Council meetings. If participating remotely, participants may be muted or dropped from the meeting for breaking decorum. Examples of disruptive behavior include, but are not limited to: heckling, shouting, use of profanity, threatening or slanderous remarks made to any member of the Council, staff, or general public. Use of the chat feature is restricted to County use only. It shall be considered a breach of decorum for members of the public to use the Chat.
