This is your chance! Community input was VERY important when this topic came
before the Board of Supervisors in May 2008. Please try to submit your remarks
in writing prior to Task Force meetings so they can be distributed & become
part of the public record. As Public Comment is limited to one minute, written
remarks become part of the record in their entirety. Fill out a blue speaker
slip when you attend Task Force meetings, & note relevant agenda items you want
to speak to. If you don?t know, list the agenda items & they?ll call your name
for public comment. You can always decline with, ?No comment,? but without
submitting a slip & noting the agenda item, you will not have any chance at all.
