Meeting Procedures
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the California State Lands Commission is conducting business remotely as we comply with State of California directives and orders for physical distancing and staying at home. The Commission is committed to ensuring that our public meetings are accessible to the public and that the public has the opportunity to observe the meeting and to participate by providing written and verbal comment on Commission matters. During this extraordinary time, and as we explore new ways of doing business with new technologies, we ask that you remain patient with us. Please don't hesitate to reach out to SLC.HelpDesk@slc.ca.gov for technical problems.
The instructions below outline how members of the public can access virtual Commission meetings and provide public comment.

2. Persons speaking at State Lands Commission meetings are accustomed to filling out a speaker card. To allow for a more orderly process of identifying speakers in advance, the Commission will use virtual speaker cards. The virtual speaker card will allow the Commission staff to identify commenters interested in a particular item, locate them within the Zoom Webinar attendee list, and unmute them so they can address the Commission at the appropriate time.
To request to speak on an item:
· By 12 noon on the day of the Commission Meeting.
o Send an email to cslc.commissionmeetings@slc.ca.gov
o In the subject line, indicate: August 25, 2021 Speaker Comment

§ Who you represent (i.e., self, another person, an organization)
§ The item number and name you wish to speak on
§ Whether you definitely want to speak, or you are unsure and will decide during the item whether you want to speak
§ Whether you intend to participate via videoconference or telephonically
§ If calling in, please provide the last three digits of the phone number you will be calling from
If you do not send an email by 12 noon, please send the email as soon as you can. If you are unable to send an email, you will still be able to provide verbal comments. Please raise your hand using the Zoom Webinar hand raise function or dial *9 if calling from a telephone.
1. At the beginning of the meeting and for each agendized item at the public meeting, the Commission will ask whether there are any requests for public comment.
2. If you want to provide verbal comments on a specific agenda item, you will need to "Raise your hand" during the Zoom meeting. *If calling into the meeting from a telephone, you can use "Star (*) 9" to raise/lower your hand.
3. Once your hand is raised and it is your turn to speak, the Commission staff will unmute you, announce your name, and you will be able to make your public comment to the Commission. *Depending on how you have called in, you may also need to unmute yourself on your device.
4. A speaker's time allotment is generally 3 minutes but is ultimately at the discretion of the Chair. It is strongly recommended, though not required, that public comments be submitted in writing beforehand so they can be distributed to all Commission members for review prior to the meeting. After your public comment, your hand will be lowered and you will be placed back on mute.
