etc., please state that for the record as well.
• The board requests that, prior to offering testimony, the speaker disclose any financial or business relationship with the
applicant, the project, or neighbors. This includes any paid compensation. It would also be helpful if the speaker disclosed any
membership or affiliation that would affect their testimony.
• Speakers are requested not to repeat items addressed by previous speakers other than to express points of agreement or
