Public Comment
Because of the unprecedented logistical and public health challenges presented by COVID-19, public comment will proceed as follows:
• Only written public comment will be allowed. Live comment will not be permitted.
• At the beginning of the meeting, the moderator will read aloud the entire Ad Valorem agenda. Thereafter, the meeting will recess for 30 minutes so that members of the public may provide written public comment on any agenda item.
• Public comments are submitted electronically on a form, available on this web page - https://council.nola.gov/home/
• Public comments are now being accepted and will be accepted until the end of the 30-minute comment submittal period. Public comment received after the close of the 30-minute comment submittal period will not be considered.
• Each submission must contain (i) the commenter’s first and last name, (ii) the commenter’s address, (iii) whether the commenter is being paid in connection with his or her comments, and (iv) the agenda item to which the comment pertains. Any comment missing this information will not be read aloud.
• No member of the public may submit more than one written comment per agenda item.
• Before the Ad Valorem votes on an agenda item, a moderator will read into the record all comments pertaining to that item that have been submitted in accordance with these rules.
• Comments will be read aloud in a normal speaking voice. The moderator will discontinue reading a comment once it exceeds two minutes.
• Any person seeking accommodation as a result of a disability or other circumstance should contact Paul Harang at paul.harang@nola.gov.
