 PUBLIC COMMENT

The public has the right to address the commission, and the commission welcomes the public’s comments. The public may do so in three different ways: (1) written comments which will be entered into the permanent public record for the meeting; (2) speaking live to the commission at the meeting location; and (3) speaking live to the commission remotely. Further instruction on each method are listed below.

  • Written public comment to the commission may also be submitted via the commission’s Public Comment Portal, available at Michigan-Mapping.org.
  • Requests to speak live to the commission at the meeting venue will be determined on a first-come, first-served basis. Doors and in-person public comment sign-up will open one hour before the meeting start time. Sign-up for in-person public comment will close when the public comment portion of the agenda ends at the meeting.

Requests to speak remotely must be submitted via signup form available at https://www.research.net/r/SLXHH3Q.

  • Individuals who wish to address the commission remotely will be invited to speak on a first-come, first-served basis (based on the sign-up form). These individuals can expect to receive information about how to log-on to the webinar via the email they provide in the sign-up form. Sign-up for virtual or remote public comment will close at 9 a.m. the day of the meeting.

Each person who chooses to provide live or remote public comment will have up to one (1) minute to address the commission. Proposed plans drawn by the commission are available for viewing and comment at MICRC – Proposed Maps (michigan.gov). Select “View Map, Comments” under each proposed State Senate, State House or Congressional plan to place a comment on that plan or click “Download Shapefile” to download a copy of the map’s shapefile.
