BERG, JR., tITYCLERK --A LJJ 7 PUBLISH 261h of February, 2007 and 121h of March, 2007 �0 41fff Welcome to Tonight's Public Hearing of the Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission In order for the Commission to conduct the hearing in an orderly manner, the chair must recognize anyone wishing to speak or testify. The following procedures have been established for the hearing of individual applications: • The Chairman will open the public hearing for the application. • The Planning Staff will present the application in the form of a staff report. • The Commission may ask questions of the staff to clarify their understanding of the application. • The applicant will then be given the opportunity to present their proposal and respond to questions from the Commission. T Testimony will be taken in favor of, and in opposition to the application, and general eormme ing to the application will be heard. (Please state your name and address clearly for the record.) • The applicant will be given the opportunity for rebuttal and summarization of their testimony. • The Staff may present additional information and may respond to additional questions from the Commission. • The public testimony is concluded and the public hearing is closed. • The Commission discusses the application and motions are made. • The Commission votes on the motion of the application. Suggestions for Testifying at Public Hearings • Remember Your Obiective: If you want to persuade the Commission to vote or decide in favor of your side of the issue, it usually doesn't help your cause to anger, alienate or antagonize them. • Know the Law: Officials are not likely to make decisions in violation of city or state codes. No amount of passion, exhortation, or pleading by citizens will accomplish this. (However, Laws can be changed. If there is a bad law, organize to have it amended). • Show Your Strength: Many neighborhood groups organize their testimony by having one or a few people speak on behalf of the group. The leader will ask those in the audience supporting the testimony to stand. This shows the Commission the amount of support your testimony has without being repetitious. • Speak to the Point: Public officials have heard hundreds of people give testimony. They are grateful when the testimony is pertinent, well organized, and directly regards the matter at hand. Long stories, lectures of philosophy or abstract complaints about generalities are usually a poor use of time, since the immediate problem is for the Commission to choose a course of action to take on a specific question. • Clearly State Your Recommendations: Don't leave the Commission wondering what it was you wanted them to do. • If You don't Wish to Speak —Write: If written testimony is specific, to the point, and concise, it will be given just as much attention as oral testimony. By necessity, oral testimony has time limits so that more people can speak, but written testimony has no length limitations. It may be effective to summarize your testimony orally in 3-5 minutes and then submit the details in writing. • Be Reasonable: Put yourself in the shoes of the Commission. They must balance all views, interests and proposals being made, and find the best course for serving the overall public good. While it is your obligation to present your own interests, remember that you have legitimate competition. Be prepared occasionally to compromise.

No amount of passion, exhortation, or pleading by citizens will accomplish this. (However, Laws can be changed. If there is a bad law, organize to have it amended). • Show Your Strength: Many neighborhood groups organize their testimony by having one or a few people speak on behalf of the group. The leader will ask those in the audience supporting the testimony to stand. This shows the City Council the amount of support your testimony has without being repetitious. • Speak to the Point: Public officials have heard hundreds of people give testimony. They are grateful when the testimony is pertinent, well organized, and directly regards the matter at hand. Long stories, lectures of philosophy or abstract complaints about generalities are usually a poor use of time, since the immediate problem is for the City Council to choose a course of action to take on a specific question. • Clearly State Your Recommendations: Don't leave the City Council wondering what it was you wanted them to do. • If You don't Wish to Speak —Write: If written testimony is specific, to the point, and concise, it will be given just as much attention as oral testimony. By necessity, oral testimony has time limits so that more people can speak, but written testimony has no length limitations. It may be effective to summarize your testimony orally in 3-5 minutes and then submit the details in writing. • Be Reasonable: Put yourself in the shoes of the City Council. They must balance all views, interests and proposals being made, and find the best course for serving the overall public good. While it is your obligation to present your own interests, remember that you have legitimate competition. Be prepared occasionally to compromise.
