*All agenda items are for consideration and are not final until voted on by the CAC.
**Privilege of the Floor is the time to address the CAC and is a privilege – not a right – and while we realize that
residents are sometimes passionate about an issue, we insist that the tone and content of your remarks be civil and
respectful. If these guidelines are not adhered to, you will be asked to sit down and remain silent. Once the meeting
moves past Privilege of the Floor, we are still interested in what you have to say, but please be aware that your
comments or questions during this part of the meeting can be entertained only if time permits. Please wait to be
recognized by the Chair before speaking. If you wish to comment or ask a question during the regular part of our
meeting, we ask that your comments pertain to the subject at hand, and again we insist that they be civil and
respectful.
