Banks opens public testimony and lays out two-minute speaking rules

Now we're going to move to public testimony.

Now we'll now open up the hearing for public testimony.

I remind members of the public that this is a government proceeding and the quorum shall be observed at all times.

As such, members of the public shall remain silent at all times.

The witness table is reserved for people who wish to testify.

No video recording or photography is allowed from the witness table.

And also, too, I'll add this.

I would encourage night just after.

Please stay back to hear from the public as well.

Members of the public may not present audio or video recordings.

As testimony, but may submit transcripts of such recordings to the Sergeant of Arms for inclusion into the hearing record.

If you wish to speak at today's hearing, please fill out the appearance card with the Sergeant of Arms and wait to be recognized.

When recognized, you will have two minutes to speak on today's hearing topic.

Work order practice here at Nightshade and PAC.

And if you wish to submit a written statement or additional written testimony for the record, please give a copy to the Sergeant of Arms.

You may also email written testimony to testimony at council.nyc.gov.

Within 72 hours of this hearing, audio and video recordings will not be accepted.
