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 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
