§ 12.4.2. Conduct of public hearings.

A.

Generally. Any person can appear at a public hearing and testify or submit evidence, either individually or as a representative of a person or organization. Each person appearing at a public hearing must be identified by name and address and, if appearing on behalf of a person or organization, must state the name and address of the person or organization being represented.

B.

Exclusion of testimony. If necessary, the board or commission conducting the public hearing can establish time limits for testimony and may exclude testimony or evidence that is irrelevant, immaterial or repetitious.

C.

Tabling of public hearing. The board or commission conducting the public hearing can, on its own motion or at the request of any person, table the public hearing to a specified date. Tabling for more than 40 days without the applicant's consent is not permitted. Every effort must be made to conduct each public hearing expeditiously and without undue delay.
