You will also be asked for an email address.  You may fill in this field with any entry in an email format, e.g., *****@***mail.com.

 

Your microphone will be automatically muted. When the Chairperson asks for public testimony, you may click the Raise Hand button found on your Zoom screen to indicate that you wish to testify about that agenda item.  The Chairperson will individually enable each testifier to unmute their microphone. When recognized by the Chairperson, please unmute your microphone before speaking and mute your microphone after you finish speaking. 

 

PHONE ACCESS:

 

If you cannot get internet access, you may get audio-only access by calling the Zoom Phone Number listed at the top on the agenda. 

 

Upon dialing the number, you will be prompted to enter the Meeting ID which is also listed at the top of the agenda.  After entering the Meeting ID, you will be asked to either enter your panelist number or wait to be admitted into the meeting.  You will not have a panelist number.  So, please wait until you are admitted into the meeting. 

 

When the Chairperson asks for public testimony, you may indicate you want to testify by entering “*” and then “9” on your phone’s keypad.  After entering “*” and then “9”, a voice prompt will let you know that the host of the meeting has been notified.  When recognized by the Chairperson, you may unmute yourself by pressing “*” and then “6” on your phone.  A voice prompt will let you know that you are unmuted.  Once you are finished speaking, please enter “*” and then “6” again to mute yourself.

 

For both internet and phone access, when testifying, you will be asked to identify yourself and the organization, if any, that you represent.  Each testifier will be limited to five minutes of testimony per agenda item.
