 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,
 Room 244, San Francisco, CA 94102.
