The chairperson shall have general control over the Chamber, lobbies, rooms and corridors in that part of the building assigned to the committee. The chairperson may allow public testimony on any item being considered by the committee at that hearing. Once a hearing has been called on a proposed local law or resolution, the chairperson may permit the public to submit written or video testimony through the Council’s website, which the chairperson may have distributed or played at, and which the chairperson may include as part of the public record for, such hearing.
