Public Participation Policy
- The Erie County Citizens Salary Review Commission (CSRC) welcomes input from the general public. The Chair of the CSRC may authorize at their discretion, but is not required to allow, public participation on items on the agenda to ensure the orderly conduct of business during meetings.
- Request time to speak by emailing Lindsay McKay at lindsay.mckay@erie.gov or calling 716-858-6194 at least four (4) hours before the start of a meeting so speakers may be listed on the agenda to be posted in a timely manner as required by the New York State Open Meetings Law. Confirmation from Lindsay is required to be included in the agenda and be allocated time to speak.
- In order to participate in the public comment period, members of the public must provide their name, address, and contact information (phone or email).
- At a member of the public’s request, they may leave a comment in advance (verbal or written) of a commission meeting to be either read aloud during the public comment period (if less than 500 words) or be submitted for inclusion in the official meeting minutes.
- Remarks and presentations from all speakers will be limited to 5 minutes and take place at the conclusion of any new business prior to adjournment. The Chair may allow additional time if doing so will further the duties and goals of CSRC.
- The Chair also has the ability to limit remarks from the public which are “repetitive” or “offensive.”
