• Commenters will be able to view all comments made on each item.
• eComments will be enabled until the meeting concludes; however, to ensure sufficient time for review, only comments received up to 3 pm on the day of the meeting will be distributed to the meeting body and management staff before the meeting.
• Comments received after the 3 pm cut off time will be distributed to the meeting body and management staff the next business day.
• All comments received will become part of the meeting record.
