Approved 7.10.24 Charity Kirk: I would suggest, it sounds like from my reading of Item 8 is that we are bringing things in line with 152 the state. 153 154 Cy Stober: In part, there are two amendments one will bring our UDO under compliance with the general 155 statute. 156 157 Charity Kirk: So my suggestion is we give each person 6 minutes, 3 minutes on each item because I think Item 158 8 is probably a little less contentious and that will try and keep it shorter, so 6 minutes total, 3 minutes per each item, 159 so if they only want to talk about one item, it’s only 3 minutes that they get to talk. 160 161 Lamar Proctor: Well, I do think that the sign-in sheet accurately reflects which item and the name of the person 162 who wants to speak, so given that I think we’re all accepting of the fact that this is going to be a multi-session 163 meeting, I think we should just be cognizant of the time and call those up in order in the order in which they signed up 164 and I would ask the public if you feel that your position has been stated, I don’t want to cut anyone’s time, but if you 165 feel that someone else has said what you wanted to say and it would be duplicative, then you’re welcome to just let 166 us know you agree with someone else or I would just ask the public to be mindful of the time. we’re not going to cut 167 anybody’s time short because this is a public hearing and you all have the right to have your voices heard. So, what I 168 would propose is that we just follow our normal meeting process and be cognizant of the time and give each 169 individual as they have signed up on the list their 3 minutes. Once the buzzer goes off, we're not trying to be rude, 170 we're just trying to be efficient about time, so when that buzzer goes off the 3 minutes is up, and you’ll be asked to 171 step away from the podium to keep things moving forward. There is one additional request that has been made by 172 Preserve Rural Orange which is a community group who has asked for additional time. Before we get into that, does 173 everyone agree as to the process on individual comment on the sign-up sheet, does anyone have any further 174 thoughts. 175 176 Charity Kirk: Suggesting 3 minutes per topic? 177 178 Lamar Proctor: I think the individuals who have signed up have listed their name and the agenda item on which 179 they want to speak, so they should just be called up in order. If a particular individual wants to comment for 3 180 minutes on 7, 8 and 9, well, first we hear the comments on 7, then we'll hear the comments on 8, then we'll hear the 181 comments on 9. I don’t see any other way to proceed that doesn’t get confusing or lead to people feeling that their 182 time has been cut short and that they haven’t had the opportunity to address each item as per our explicit rules. 183 184 Charity Kirk; So a 3-minute limit per person to talk about all agenda items. 185 186 Lamar Proctor: Per agenda item, that is our, unless you want to make another motion. 187 188 Charity Kirk: 3 minutes per person per agenda item, so 9 minutes maximum. 189 190 Lamar Proctor: If they signed up for 7, to comment on 7, 8 and 9, and we will do them in the order in which they 191 signed up. 192 193 Charity Kirk: That’s fine. 194 195 Lamar Proctor: As per and in sequential order of the agenda items. 196 197 Chris Johnston: I think that makes sense because if we didn’t have that we were going to smush them together. 198 199 Lamar Proctor: Right. 200 201 Cy Stober: So to be clear, there will be no deviation from the rules of procedure? 202
