    ZOOM MEETING INSTRUCTIONS
    To avoid feedback or other technical issues, please join the meeting through one device only.

    If you wish to make a comment on a specific agenda item, listen for the chair to ask for any comments from the public. At this time, raise your hand using the “raise hand” icon in Zoom. You will be recognized by the meeting’s facilitator in the order your hand was raised. At that time, please unmute yourself. When you are done speaking, mute yourself and lower your hand. Note: Please ensure that you have a working microphone on or attached to your device prior to raising your hand to make a comment.

    If calling in using a phone or VOIP system, please remain on mute until called on to speak. You can raise your hand using *9. When it is your turn, the meeting facilitator will call on you. At that time, use *6 to unmute and speak. When you are done speaking, press *6 again to mute yourself and *9 to lower your hand. Speakers who do not mute themselves will be muted by the host. The facilitator can also remove a caller’s permission to speak if necessary.

     

    For best results, please speak slowly and clearly so your comments can be transcribed. This enhances the ability to clearly hear and document your comments.

     

    The chair will continue through the queue until there are no comments remaining. The chair will then proceed to the next agenda item.

    Please call CBSC at (916) 263-0916 if you experience technical difficulties.

    The meeting will be livestreamed on the CBSC YouTube channel.

    The YouTube livestream will have an active link approximately five minutes prior to the meeting start time. Please be aware the livestream has an approximate 45 second delay and there is no method for offering verbal or written public comment during the meeting.

    Please call CBSC at (916) 263-0916 if you experience technical difficulties.
