All persons supporting and opposing a proposed rezoning may take either one of two different opportunities to address the Mayor and Commission at the final public hearing on the proposed rezoning, as follows:

1.a. Proponents shall first present their ten (10) minute argument in support of the proposed rezoning, and opponents shall then present their ten (10) minute argument in opposition to the proposed rezoning.

b. Neither side will be required to use all of its ten (10) minute argument period.

c. Either side may allocate its ten (10) minute argument period among any number of speakers, provided that the presentation by all speakers for each side shall not exceed ten (10) minutes per side.

d. All persons wishing to speak longer than three (3) minutes during one side's ten (10) minute argument period must register their intent to do so with the Clerk of Commission not later than the time that the meeting of the Mayor and Commission at which the final public hearing on the proposed rezoning is to be conducted is first called to order.

e. In the event that all persons wishing to speak longer than three (3) minutes as a part of one side's ten (10) minute argument are not able to agree how that side's ten (10) minute argument period shall be allocated, they shall inform the Mayor of their disagreement before either side begins its 10-minute argument, in which event the Mayor shall decide and announce the manner in which that side's ten (10) minute argument period shall be allocated. Any Commissioner dissatisfied with the Mayor and Chair's allocation of that side's ten (10) minute argument shall have the right to appeal the Mayor's allocation decision to the Commission before either side begins its ten (10) minute argument.

2. After the supporter and opponents of the proposed rezoning have concluded their ten (10) minute arguments, any person who has not yet spoken either for or against the proposed rezoning shall be allowed to address the Mayor and Commission concerning the proposed rezoning for no longer than three (3) minutes per person.
