OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE PUBLIC TO ATTEND THE MEETING AND PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENTS

• Members of the public may attend the Board meeting in person at the Harbor Administration Building located at 425 S. Palos Verdes St., San Pedro, CA  90731.
   
• The Board meeting will also be broadcast live at portoflosangeles.org. Live Board meetings can also be heard at: (213) 621-2489 (Metro), (818) 904-9450 (Valley), (310) 471-2489 (Westside) and (310) 547-2489 (San Pedro Area).
   
• In-Person Comments: Live, oral public comments will be taken in person, only, and not via teleconference. Members of the public will be given an opportunity to address the Board on (1) any item on the agendas prior to the Board’s consideration of that item, including the consent and closed session agenda; and (2) subjects within the subject matter jurisdiction of the Board (general public comment).  Members of the public who wish to speak should complete a speaker card indicating the agenda item number on which they will comment, or designate “general public comment.” Each speaker is allowed to speak up to 3 minutes per agenda item. The Presiding Officer shall, however, exercise discretion to determine if such period of time should be reduced or extended based upon, but not limited to, such factors as the length of the agenda or substance of the agenda items, the quantity of public comment speaker cards submitted, the need for the Board to conclude its business as expeditiously as is practicable and/or the Board is at risk of losing a quorum, among other factors. Upon request, non-English speakers will be granted additional speaking time for translation assistance.
   
• Written comments or materials may be submitted by emailing commissioners@portla.org or brought to the meeting. If you request to distribute documents to the full Commission, please present the Board Secretary with twelve (12) copies.  Otherwise, your materials will simply be added to the official meeting record. All written comments or materials submitted for this meeting will be provided to the Commissioners and entered into the official meeting minutes. Please submit your written comments prior to 3 p.m. on the day before the scheduled meeting. Requests to distribute literature to the general public attendees of the meeting shall be placed on a literature table outside the Boardroom during and until 30 minutes after the Board meeting.
