The presiding official (identified in the transcript as Speaker 3) recessed the hearing and scheduled a continuation for Tuesday, March 3, 2026, at 9:00 a.m., using the same virtual login. He told participants there is no legal requirement for additional public notice because the continuance names a date and time certain.
On requests relayed from community members, the presiding official said there will be an opportunity for public testimony during the rebuttal phase and that, if parties agree, additional public testimony can be taken Tuesday morning after the panel’s questions to witnesses. He also said he would hold off on imposing time limits for public testimony unless turnout made limits necessary; he noted typical public-comment limits are 3–4 minutes at many local meetings.
Why it matters: parties and residents who wish to comment should be aware the hearing continues on March 3 and that the panel signaled it will hear additional public testimony that morning.
Next step: the hearing reconvenes Tuesday, March 3, 2026, at 9:00 a.m., same virtual login.
