upcoming meeting of the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners which you may wish to
attend.
This information includes guidelines that explain the Board's attempt to conduct efficient and
streamlined meetings while assuring that everyone from the public in attendance has an
opportunity to express their views.
Your assistance is requested in implementing these procedures by making your remarks as
concise as possible when you come before us. All speakers are requested to sign up for public
hearing items by 4:00 p.m. on the day of the meeting. If you are part of a group wishing to voice
