7. Adjournment
• All agenda items are for consideration and are not final until voted on by the Board.
* As a Planning Board, we want to know what residents have to say. The time set aside for this is at
the beginning of the meeting during 'Privilege of the Floor.' This time to speak 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.
