I am going to read this, public charge. The Board of Adjustment pledges to the citizens of 39 <br />Orange County its respect, and the Board asks citizens to conduct themselves in a respectful, 40 <br />courteous manner, both with the Board and with fellow citizens. At any time, should any member 41 <br />of the Board or a citizen fail to observe the public charge, the, I'll ask the offending person to leave 42 <br />the meeting until that individual regains personal control. Should decorum fail to be restored, we'll 43 <br />recess the meeting until a genuine commitment to this public charge can be observed. The Board 44 <br />of Adjustment is a quasi-judicial administrative body established in accordance with the provisions 45 <br />of local regulations and State law to perform specified functions essential to the County’s planning 46 <br />program. Action(s) taken by the board are based solely on competent, substantial, and material 47 <br />evidence presented during an advertised public hearing. As detailed within 2.12.2 of the UDO, the 48 <br />Board chair reserves the right to exclude evidence and testimony that is deemed incompetent, 49 <br />irrelevant material, or unduly repetitious and, therefore, fails to reasonably address the issues 50 <br />1
