Open Floor Mic Example ● What is happening: There are parking difficulties for students and residents around YHS. ● Say something like: We are having trouble with lack of parking in our civic association particularly around the local high school. There is currently an open comment period on parking in residential areas - we encourage you all to participate on how this would impact your organization by XX date. Or go to Public Comment period at 8:30 am Saturday September 22nd at the County Board Meeting. ● Do not say: Yorktown parking is awful and we hope you all agree. Get rid of those reserved swimmers spots! 19
