Public Comment on SPS Levies - BEX IV and Operations from 4-5 p.m. at JSCEE
This is a legally mandated public hearing the district must have for all levies.  Unfortunately, they don't say how long the speaking period is but I suspect it is about 2 minutes.  I recall that President DeBell said they had spots for between 20-25 speakers.  You sign up at the time of the hearing.
