Committee member seeks clarification after public hearing opened and closed
Summary
A committee member asked whether the chair had closed the public hearing after a momentary overlap in who was speaking; the clerk clarified the hearing was opened and closed after asking for public comment, resolving the procedural confusion.
During the public hearing segment, a committee member asked for clarification about whether the public hearing had been closed after an apparent overlap in speaking roles. The committee member said they had not heard the closing and asked if the hearing had been closed; the chair and clerk confirmed the hearing had been opened, given an opportunity for public comment, and then closed when no comments were offered.
The clerk explained the sequence: another member briefly began but the clerk paused and then presented the resolution and closed the hearing after asking for comments or questions. The exchange resolved the procedural question and the meeting proceeded to the vote on Resolution 2607.
