PUBLIC TESTIMONY PROCEDURES 
1.    Any person wishing to speak at a Port Commission meeting must register on a sign-up sheet and identify the specific agenda item to which he/she will speak before the
agenda item commences. 
2.    The Commission does not generally take public testimony for non-action agenda items such as "Staff Briefings" or Work Session presentations, but may do so at the
discretion of the Commission Chair. 
3.    An individual may testify on an agenda item for up to three minutes. Organization representatives may testify for up to five minutes. 
4.    Any person wishing to speak on a topic not appearing on an agenda may sign up to speak under "New Business". All testimony provided under "New Business" is limited to
three minutes. 
5.    In the interests of time, the Commission Chair may limit the number of persons speaking on any topic or may limit testimony to those having new information or material to
present. 
6.    The Commission Chair may alter the time allotments for testimony to ensure that more speakers have an opportunity to be heard. 
7.    The identity of each testifier will be noted in the meeting minutes. An individual or organization representative may have the text of his/her remarks appended to the
Commission minutes by submitting a written text at, or before, the meeting. The appended written text will be preserved permanently. 
8.    A digital audio recording of the public testimony is on file in Port offices. Digital audio recordings are retained in Port offices for six years and then transferred to State
Archives. A charge is assessed for duplication or transcription. 
9.    The Commission does not engage in discussion or debate with testifiers during commission meetings.  Questions and requests for information or documents may be
addressed to Port staff or to individual Commissioners outside of Commission meetings. (Revised September 14, 2007)
