(a) Unless otherwise required by statute or administrative rule, meetings shall be conducted in accordance with the current edition of Robert's Rules of Order. (b) Interested persons wishing to submit data, views, or arguments, in writing, on any agenda item shall submit to the agency, board, commission, authority, or committee, no later than the workday prior to the day of the meeting, a legibly written or typed copy of the information, on 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper. The information must be in a form that may be reproduced by xerographic means for distribution to the members of the agency, board, commission, authority, or committee. (c) Oral testimony may be given to the agency, board, commission, authority, or committee on any agenda item, but the presiding officer may limit each person to no more than five minutes per agenda item and may further limit or terminate testimony that the presiding officer determines to be repetitious or given solely for purposes of delay. The presiding officer may at any time require any person appearing before the agency, board, commission, authority, or committee in a representative capacity to show that person's authority and qualifications to act in such a representative capacity and to identity the persons and interests that are being represented. (d) The presiding officer may order the removal of any person who wilfully disrupts a meeting or otherwise interferes with the proper and expeditious conduct of the meeting.
