ADJOURNMENT
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,
