She inquired on the <br />protocol. Director Gierloff stated the PC may allow spoken comment, but it is not required. However, if the <br />PC majority opted to give Mr. Kato a few minutes, it was within their power to do that. Commissioner <br />Strander asked if there was discussion at the meeting, would it be included on a future meeting agenda. Chair <br />Sidhu stated that was correct and asked Mr. Kato to speak for five minutes. The PC Secretary noted that, <br />although Mr. Kato was being allowed to speak, his comments would not be part of the legal record because <br />the item was not on the approved agenda. The PC were also informed if they wanted to include the general <br />public comment submittal on a future PC agenda, they needed to inform staff. <br /> <br />Old Business - None. <br /> <br /> <br />
