TRIAL ON-LINE SPEAKER CARD REGISTRATION
The Measures N and H Commission, 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 Register the first time you use the
eComment - Request To Speak.
The Request To Speak System, after the one time
registration, will remember you by first name and last name
associated with your email address (profile), 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
