Any person wishing to speak to the Board on a specific agenda item must file with the Clerk a Request to Speak form prior to the time that public comment begins on the item if the item has not been adopted without discussion. No person may yield speaking time to another person. Any person who does not wish to speak to the Board but wishes to have the record reflect a position in favor or in opposition to an agenda item may do so by indicating the same on the Request to Speak form. If an agenda item is set for a specific time, a written Request to Speak form must be filed prior to the time that public comment begins on the item.

Due to the need to facilitate public comment at the meeting, submission of unintelligible, profane, deceptive, confusing or other information on Request to Speak forms that may interfere with the orderly processing of speakers may preclude a member of the public from speaking during that particular public comment period. Speakers may not yield their time to another person. Time allotted to each speaker is determined by the Chair, and in general is limited to two (2) minutes.

Public Comment Time: Up to 20 minutes at the start of General Legislative and Land Use Legislative sessions is allocated for public comments on topics within the Board's jurisdiction that are not on the agenda.

Request to Speak: Speakers must select, "Non-Agenda Public Communication" in the online Request to Speak form before the public comment session begins. Speakers can only participate in one non-agenda public comment session per meeting.

Referral of Issues: Issues raised during public comments are referred to the Chief Administrative Officer; the Board takes no immediate action.

Submitting a Presentation in Advance: If you cannot bring a device, submit your presentation to the Clerk of the Board by 2 p.m. on the Friday before the meeting to avoid technical issues. Email your presentation file to PublicComment@sdcounty.ca.gov and include the presenter’s name and the agenda item number. Same-day submissions are not accepted.
