How to Provide Comments and Comment Time Limits 
If you would like to comment on an item scheduled for public discussion, you may do so by emailing comments in advance to publiccomment@bcdc.ca.gov until 5 p.m. the day before the meeting, or participating via ZOOM during the meeting during the public comment agenda item.

If you plan to participate through ZOOM, please use your ZOOM-enabled device and click on the “raise your hand” button, and then wait to speak until called upon.  If you are using a telephone to call into the meeting, select *6 to unmute your phone and you will then be able to speak.  We ask that everyone use the mute button when not speaking.  It is also important that you not put your phone on hold.  Each speaker may be limited to a maximum of three minutes or less at the discretion of the Chair during the public comment period.  Any speakers who exceed the time limits or interfere with the meeting may be muted by the Chair.  It is strongly recommended that public comments be submitted in writing so they can be distributed to all Environmental Justice Commissioner Working Group members in advance of the meeting for review. You are encouraged to submit written comments of any length and detailed information to the staff prior to the meeting at the email address above, which will be distributed to the Environmental Justice Commissioner Working Group members.
