Meeting Procedures
|
|
The Board of Supervisors
is the Legislative Body of the City and County of San Francisco. The Board
considers ordinances and resolutions, most of which have been the subject
of hearings before the standing committees of the board at which members
of the public are urged to testify. The full Board does not hold a second
public hearing on measures which have been heard in committee. Board procedures
do not permit persons in the audience to vocally express support or opposition
to statements by Supervisors or by other persons testifying. Thus applause
and booing are both contrary to Board requirements. The ringing and use
of cell phones, pagers and similar sound-producing electronic devices
is prohibited. Violators may be removed from the meeting room. The Board
does not permit signs to be brought into the meeting or displayed in the
room. Citizens are encouraged to testify at Board hearings and to write
letters to the Board and to its members, City Hall, 1 Dr. Carlton B. Goodlett
Place, Room 244, San Francisco, CA 94102. Agenda are available on the
