These 'point of information' requests should be held <br />to a minimum. <br />6. Once the public testimony phase is complete the chair will <br />announce the public hearing to be closed and the council will <br />revert back to its open discussion mode of operation. From this <br />point on public input will only be appropriate when solicited by <br />the council. <br />7. It shall be the intent of the council to vote on the issue at <br />the same meeting as the public hearing and as close in time to the <br />public hearing as possible. Should it be necessary to defer voting <br />until a later date, that procedure will be clearly explained to the <br />audience. <br />8. No public hearing will extend beyond 10 P.M. <br />• 9. If the motion contains conditions, as may occur in conditional <br />use or variance requests, those conditions will be conveyed in <br />writing to the requestor. <br />10. If the public hearing is the result of a resident request and <br />that request is denied in whole or in part, reasons of fact <br />supporting the denial will be made part of the public record. <br />11. If the public hearing is to set an assessment rate, the <br />assessment formula(s) under discussion cannot be altered. This <br />implies that the council has fully discussed any formulas prior to <br />the hearing and that the appropriate legal, fiscal and engineering <br />consultants have passed on formula(s) viability, legality and <br />feasibility. <br />12. If the hearing is to set an assessment, it cannot be scheduled <br />later than the first meeting in September. This is to allow time <br />to correct any errors prior to the time needed to certify the rolls <br />to the county. <br />• <br />3S <br />
