How to Testify

• Everyone who wants to testify will get a chance to speak.
• Please sign-up to speak at the entrance. Sign-up begins at 5:00 PM. You may sign-up only for yourself and for no other person(s).

• When signing up to speak please indicate which aspect of the agreement you wish to address (SCAN, Art Zone, discounts for low-income seniors, discounts for low-income people with disabilities and discounts for very low-income who are not elderly or disabled, other issues as indicated). Please note that some speakers may be taken out of order to enable comments on a variety of topics to be heard throughout the hearing. The Chair will be alternating among subjects throughout the course of the hearing.
• Please limit your remarks to two (2) minutes or less.
• Please note that this committee does not recognize the “yielding” of time to others.
• If you are with a group presenting similar interests and comments, you may combine your presentations. Group presenters should limit your group’s remarks to five (5) minutes or less.

• Please begin your comments by stating your name and address and the organization, if any, that you represent.
• Staff will let you know how much time you have left (1 minute or 30 seconds) and when your time has expired. At that time, please conclude your comments.
• Demonstrations, shouting, chanting or other disruptive activity that prevents speakers from being heard by all in the room will not be allowed.
• Again, everyone who wants to speak will get a chance to be heard.
