    • Robert, it worked for me, BUT, they said it is no 10 on the agenda and I don’t see it there. Nor do I see a link to leave a comment for that item.

  • I too, was confused about the item missing from the Agenda. I did some clicking around and finally found it!

    Here's how:

    When you click the link, scroll down until you see three tabs: Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Click on the "Thursday March 14th, 9:00am" Tab, which will bring you to the correct Agenda. You can then scroll down to Item #10 and click the link to submit your public comment.
