Attention PRSVA Gas Station appeal supporters

We will be meeting this Thursday morning at 7:15 at the Dance Palace to carpool to the Coastal Commission hearing in the city at the Hyatt Regency on 5 Embarcadero.

Your presence at the meeting will be noticed.

Notes for viewing or speaking 

We encourage supporters of the appeal to attend the hearing in person.  It is not necessary to register to attend, but advance sign-in is necessary if you want to speak.  It is strategic to demonstrate during the public hearing how broad and energetic this support is, but also to respect the demands on the Commissioners’ attention in what will likely be a long day of hearings and reports.  

The PRSVA will designate one speaker to represent the petitioners.  This person will use their speaker’s time (2 min maximum) to read the petition into the record, and announce the number of signers, and then ask supporters of the appeal in the room to stand.  It would be best to have only a few others speak individually so as not to wear on the Commissioners’ patience.

 

If you are unable to attend in person, we encourage you to register your support by signing up to speak remotely.  However, think carefully about your impression on a very busy meeting.  Registered attendees are called upon by the moderator and given 2, or often just 1, minute to speak.  Rather than take up time to hear from attendees individually, the moderator may ask remote supporters to use the “raise hand” button to indicate their support of the appeal and thus add to the number of in-person supporters in the hearing room.
