C. COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC
The purpose of public comment is to allow the public to voice county-related requests, concerns or opinions
during the Commission meeting. Speakers will only have the opportunity for one public comment per meeting.
Each speaker must complete a speaker card and present it to the clerk before the beginning of the public
comment portion of the meeting. Cards turned in to the clerk from the time the general meeting is convened
(generally 9 A.M.) and by the beginning of public comment portion generally following presentations on the
agenda. The clerk will accept cards on a first-come, first-served basis. Prior to the clerk’s call for public
comment, speakers who are residents of DeKalb County shall be allowed to speak before residents of other
counties are allowed to speak. Once the public comment portion of the meeting begins, speaker cards will no
longer be accepted.

Agenda

October 13, 2026

Speakers will be allowed to speak for three minutes each and public comment shall not exceed 30 minutes in
length. When the buzzer sounds to indicate that time has run out, the speaker will be expected to immediately
cease speaking and to yield the podium. Those who submitted speaker cards but did not speak because of the
time allotment will be allowed to speak first at the next regularly scheduled Commission meeting without regard
to residence. Speakers should always talk directly into the microphone and begin by stating their name, full
address and the name of any organization they represent. Abusive, profane or derogatory language, holding up
signs, clapping, yelling, standing or laying in the aisles to show support for or opposition to a speaker will not
be permitted, but a show of hands or quietly standing in place will be permitted to show support for or
opposition to a speaker's position.

D. 10:00 A.M. PUBLIC HEARING
Citizens may speak for or against an item that is considered by law to be a zoning ordinance and each side will
have ten minutes to present its case. Citizens may also speak for or against an item that is placed on the public
hearing agenda but is not a zoning ordinance. In that case, each side will have five minutes to present its case.
In the event there is more than one speaker per side, speakers must divide their time in order to complete their
full presentation within the ten-minute time allotment, or the five minute time allotment. When the buzzer sounds
to indicate that time has run out, the speaker will be expected to immediately cease speaking and to leave the
podium area. Prior to speaking, a speaker shall complete a speaker card and present it when approaching the
podium. If a speaker has any documents for the commissioners, the speaker shall provide 10 copies when
approaching the podium. Seven copies are for the commissioners and the remaining copies are for the planning
director, the county attorney and the clerk. In all zoning ordinance and traffic calming cases, staff shall make
their recommendation for action to the Commission first followed by applicants or citizens speaking in favor of
the item. Applicants in zoning ordinance cases shall have the right to reserve time for rebuttal. Opponents of a
zoning ordinance item shall have no right of rebuttal. For all other items placed on the public hearing agenda,
applicants or citizens speaking in favor of the item shall speak first followed by opponents of the item. Once the
citizens have finished speaking, staff shall make a recommendation for action to the Commission. At this point,
citizens are no longer allowed to speak unless called to the podium by an individual commissioner to answer
questions or provide information. Speakers should always talk directly into the microphone and begin by
stating their name, address and the name of any organization they represent. Abusive, profane or derogatory
language will not be permitted. Holding up signs, clapping, yelling, standing or laying in the aisles to show
support for or opposition to a speaker will not be permitted, but a show of hands or quietly standing in place
will be permitted to show support for or opposition to a speaker's position.
