TRIAL ON-LINE SPEAKER CARD REGISTRATION

The Budget and Finance Committee, in its desire to take

more targeted Public Comment on Agenda Items, on a trial

basis, within the current times allotted for Public Comment,

is returning to it past practice of taking individual Public

Comment on most items on the Agenda (except Consent). As

a result, a separate Speaker Card (Request To Speak) is

required to be filed by the commenter 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.

Manual Speaker Cards also will be available at the

meeting for completion. Request to Speak, on an eligible

Agenda Item, as a matter of equity, is first registered, first

called, in order of Registration whether participation is in

person or virtually.

For advanced Registration, You must establish a one time

OUSD eComment - Register To Speak Account providing

your First Name and Last Name and your email address.

Your First Name and Last Name, as Registered, must also

show as the Participant or Profile Name on a teleconference

system (i.e., zoom, webex, other). You will be requested to

Speak.

The Request To Speak System, after the one time

registration, will remember you by first name and last name

(profile) associated with your email address, making it

easier for you to electronically Register or Request to Speak

on an Agenda Item at a future OUSD legislative meeting,

e.g., Board, committee, commission.

Early Pre-meeting Request To Speak (Registration) is urged

for all - whether you plan to attend meeting in person or

view meeting via teleconference or listen to the meeting by

telephone. Names will be called in Request To Speak order

received.

On line Request to Speak (Registration) automatically

closes one-hour before commence of the legislative meeting.

(No way to manually reopen.) Thereafter, a Request To

Speak on an eligible Agenda Item is taken in person at the

legislative meeting only via Manual Speaker Card. (If you

registered pre-meeting on line to speak on an eligible

Agenda Item, please do not re-register if you then attend the

meeting in-person.) The Manual Speaker Card, for equity,

will be placed in the que behind pre-meeting registered

speakers.

If you registered to Speak on an eligible Agenda item,

premeeting, if attending meeting in person, when your

name is called, please walk to the Speaker's Podium and

comment on the eligible Agenda item. If you registered to

Speak on an eligible Agenda Item, premeeting, if attending

meeting on line, when your name is
