Committee closes public-comment period, then adjourns after no public testimony
Summary
A committee closed its public-comment period and voted to adjourn after no members of the public testified. Committee members noted procedures for submitting testimony by email and viewing the meeting on the YouTube channel.
A committee closed its public-comment period and adjourned the meeting after no members of the public testified, meeting participants said.
The committee opened the public-comment segment and noted that members of the public could submit testimony by email to publictestimony@gmnct.gov before 2 p.m. on the day of the meeting and could view the session on the meeting’s YouTube channel. Committee members then asked whether anyone from the public wished to testify; no one came forward.
Speaker 2, a committee member, moved to close the public portion, saying, "I make a motion that we close the public portion of this segment." The motion was seconded by Speaker 1. The committee closed the public portion on a voice vote; individual vote counts were not recorded in the transcript.
After closing public testimony, the committee moved to adjourn. Speaker 2 said, "So move," and a second was voiced. The committee approved the adjournment on a voice vote, and the presiding member declared the meeting adjourned.
The committee briefly called for Michael Stallings to come forward earlier in the agenda, but the transcript shows no public testimony from him during the recorded segments. The meeting recording was then ended and restarted, according to the transcript.
