SUGGESTIONS FOR TESTIFYING AT PUBLIC HEARINGS 1. Remember your objective…It is your objective to persuade the decision makers to vote or decide in favor of your side of the issue. It will not help your
cause to anger, alienate or antagonize the decision makers who are listening to your presentation.
2. Show your strength…Many neighborhood groups have organized their testimony by having one or a few people speak on behalf of the group. The leader
will ask those in the audience supporting the testimony to stand. This conveys to the decision makers the seriousness with which the issue is viewed by the
attending parties.
3. Speak to the point…Public officials have heard hundreds of people give testimony. They are grateful when the testimony is pertinent, well organized, and
directly regards the matter at hand. Long stories, lectures or philosophy, abstract complaints about generalities, or redundant testimony are usually a poor
use of time.
4. State your recommendation.
5. Be informed…. Get a copy of the plan being heard, the staff report, the proposed ordinance, or other pertinent material. Then read it and plan your comments
accordingly.
6. If you don’t wish to speak, write it down… and submit it prior to the hearing. If written testimony is specific, to the point and concise, it will be
given as much attention as oral testimony.
7. Be reasonable….Put yourself in the shoes of the decision makers. They must balance all points of view, interests and proposals being made, and find
the best course for the overall public good. While. Be prepared to compromise.
