If you’re planning to tell Cobb County’s top elected officials what you think about their plans to help build a new stadium for the Braves at Tuesday’s Board of Commissioners’ meeting, you better get there early.
Officials are going to allow six residents to speak for up to five minutes each before the commission votes on whether to approve the Memorandum of Understanding between the county and the Braves.
After the vote, commissioners will then allow another six residents to speak, each with the same time limits.
Commission Chairman Tim Lee told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Thursday that the time restrictions were not established to limit public input but rather to avoid unnecessary delays during the meeting.
Lee said commissioners may open the floor to additional public comment.
“If things are moving, we may expand it,” Lee said. “We’re not opposed to that.”
