SPEAKER REGISTRATION

Members of the public who wish to speak must register upon arrival. Any member of the public is permitted to speak; however, organizations must select a single spokesperson. Speaker registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. Pre-registration in advance of the meeting is not permitted. All comments made during the open public comment period will be recorded and become part of the public record.

SPEAKER TIME LIMITS

To facilitate fair and orderly expression of comments, speakers will be allocated one (1) minute to state their comments. (Note: Time may be reduced if a large number of individuals sign up to speak, to ensure all have equal opportunity to have a turn within the hearing timeframe.) Speakers may not give away, assign, or yield unused time. Unused time is automatically forfeited to the moderator. Speakers will only be called during the designated time; only the moderator may call speakers. Speakers may not call other speakers.

GUIDANCE FOR SPEAKER CONTENT

When called by the moderator, proceed to the microphone and state the following for the record:

  • Name
  • Home address or nearest street intersection
  • City of residence
  • Summarize main points and present new or relevant information
  • Please keep comments relevant to the project for which the meeting is being held
  • Please keep comments/concerns as specific as possible
  • GCRTA and/or their associated representatives reserve the right to respond to questions in writing following the meeting if there is not adequate time to answer or if information must be gathered to adequately respond
  • Once all registered speakers have presented, the moderator will ask if there are any callers on the phone, if anyone else present would like to register to speak
  • If there are no additional speakers, those who previously presented will be permitted to speak for additional time, if they choose and if time allows
  • If desired, the speaker may follow-up on verbal comments in writing (this is not a requirement and will not provide the verbal comments with additional weight)

CONDUCT

  • Participants must be respectful and considerate of the opinions of others
  • Participants must be considerate of the time allocated for others to speak
  • Demeaning and derogatory words or actions may result in attendee(s) being asked to leave

The moderator may:

  • Interrupt, warn, or terminate a participant’s statements when the statements are too lengthy, personally directed, abusive, obscene, or irrelevant;
  • Request the assistance of Transit Police officers in the removal of a disorderly person when that person’s conduct interferes with the orderly progress of the meeting or the safety of the attending public;
  • If/when the lack of public decorum interferes with the orderly conduct of the meeting, GCRTA may declare a recess or an adjournment to another time.
