hearing.

Public comment on all matters on the agenda will be taken during Agenda Item 6. All

public testimony will be limited to three minutes per person.

All public testimony must be presented to the Board at the podium. The three lights on

the podium next to the microphone will indicate the amount of time remaining for the

speaker. The green light will be turned on when the speaker begins. The yellow light will

come on with a soft bell ring when one minute is remaining. The speaker should be

completing the testimony by the time the red light comes on with a final bell indicating

the time has expired. Any testimony that references race, religion, ethnicity, economic

status, national origin, or any other classification protected under state or federal law in

a derogatory manner shall be deemed irrelevant and will not be considered by the Board

in making its determinations.

In accordance with Section 11 of Article 2, the appellant and the Department will each

have 10 minutes to present their position. The Department shall present first, then the

appellant will present. Each party will then have 3 minutes for a rebuttal. The Department

will present its rebuttal first, then the appellant may present its rebuttal. After the rebuttal,

Board members may ask questions of either party. The Board will then close the

hearing, discuss the appeal and deliberate on the appropriate action.
