on each Agenda Item eligible for Public Comment.  
On line Speaker Card Registration (Request To Speak)  
opens at minimum 72 hours in advance for a Regular  
Meeting or at minimum 24 hours in advance for a Special  
Meeting. Use the eComment Link to Request (Register) to  
Speak up to one hour before the beginning of the meeting.
