. >> i'm ron mcclock and i am a citizen and i have been going to the city meetings for 40 years with the arts commission and to the board of supervisors also and i found that this concept of minimum of three minutes is being used as a maximum of three minutes. i have gone to meetings where myself and my brother were the only people at the meetings and yet after three minutes, we have been told our time is up and please sit down. basically shut up. so i have gone to art commission meetings and presented my 150-word statement because i wanted to make sure the points that i wanted to have brought out were put into the minutes of the meeting. the city attorney is incorrectly says that just because you hand in that piece of paper, that that is an not actually what should be put in the minutes. when i hand that piece of paper in, i'm handing that piece of paper as a summary of what i am saying and as far as i am concerned, because i am given such a short time to really say anything. i can write down on that piece of paper before the meeting, exactly what i want the commission and the board
