 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 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
