Meeting Procedures
The Board of Supervisors is the legislative body of the City and County of San Francisco. The Board has several
standing committees where ordinances and resolutions are the subject of hearings 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: 1) persons in the audience to vocally express support or opposition to statements
by Supervisors or by other persons testifying; 2) ringing and use of cell phones, pagers, and similar
sound-producing electronic devices; 3) bringing in or displaying signs in the meeting room; and 4) standing in the
meeting room.
Each member of the public will be allotted the same maximum number of minutes to speak as set by the President
or Chair at the beginning of each item or public comment, excluding City representatives, except that public
speakers using interpretation assistance will be allowed to testify for twice the amount of the public testimony time
limit. If simultaneous interpretation services are used, speakers will be governed by the public testimony time
limit applied to speakers not requesting interpretation assistance. Members of the public who want a document
placed on the overhead for display should clearly state such and subsequently remove the document when they
want the screen to return to live coverage of the meeting.
