• If you are joining Zoom by phone, please make sure that the phone number you enter on your comment card matches the number you are calling from. It will also be helpful if you “raise your hand” when called upon by pressing *6 on your phone.    

Timing of Comments:

Public comments will adhere to the length the meeting chair or facilitator announces during the meeting. SGC staff will share a timer and ask speakers to end when their time is up.
