 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
 to the Board and to its members, City Hall, 1 Dr. Carlton B. Goodlett
