Members of the public may address the DJJ Realignment Subcommittee (“Committee”) for up to three (3) minutes on any matter within the Committee’s jurisdiction. The Committee will hear public comment on all agenda items before, or during discussion of, the item. The members will also hear public comments on items not listed (see Agenda, Item 3).

The period of time allowed for public comment may be modified by the Chair in the interest of fairness to all those wishing to address the Committee.

2. By email to JUV-SF-JJCC@sfgov.org if received no later than 5:00pm the day before the meeting.
