5 (f) All exhibits, documents or other physical evidence used by applicant or other interested parties during the hearings, will become part of the record and retained by the Secretary until the decision becomes final.
(g) Witnesses shall not be required to be sworn. Each witness will be required to approach the microphone and give their full name for the record before making a presentation.
(h) The right to question the witnesses shall be afforded, if requested.

However, the Chairperson may require that such questions be addressed through the Chairperson for resubmission to the witness.
(i) The reading of details of letters and petitions by the persons submitting them will not be permitted. Such documents may be filed with the Secretary and the Secretary shall mark them as having been received for the limited purpose of showing the names of the persons protesting or supporting the application.
(j) While it is desirable in a democratic process to permit every person an unlimited right to speak, such a right may unduly prolong a public hearing and cloud the basic issue if the comments presented are merely cumulative and repetitious. Therefore, whenever necessary, the Chairperson will state that cumulative and repetitious comments are to be avoided and may limit the time allocated for persons who wish to speak. Similarly, testimony and comments which are incompetent, irrelevant or immaterial shall be foreclosed by the Chairperson. If, because of the informality of the hearing, such improper comments are received, it shall not be considered by the Commission in reaching its decision. (k) The Commission may establish special rules for individual meetings, establishing time limits for presentations and requiring presentations to be made through spokespersons, if possible.
(l) After those in favor and opposed to an application have been heard, the Chairperson will ask for the recommendation of the staff and the reasons for such recommendation. After such recommendation, one spokesperson for the applicant and one spokesperson for the opponents shall be given a limited amount of time to summarize their position or respond to the recommendation, after which the Chairperson shall close the public portion of the hearing.
(m) The Commission should discuss the issues involved and make its decision only after hearing the evidence presented at the public hearing. Discussion of the matter by Commission members should be delayed until after the public hearing is closed and the matter is presented to the Commission for discussion and decision. (n) The Commission may take a field trip to view the property involved in the public hearing. All field trips shall be taken as part of a regular, adjourned regular, or special meeting of the Commission and all interested persons will be afforded the opportunity to #1..

6 be present to hear any reports or comments. A complete record of such field trip will be entered into the minutes so the record will indicate that the field trip was taken into consideration as evidence. If a Commissioner has personal knowledge of the property or area, the Commissioner should make a statement to that effect at the time of the hearing so the record will reflect everything being taken into consideration in making the final decision. (o) Commissioners are responsible for ensuring that the public hearing is conducted in a fair and impartial manner. If a Commissioner receives a significant personal contact or telephone call outside of the public hearing which concerns a matter pending before or of interest to the Landmark Preservation Commission, he or she shall disclose the substance and nature of the contact or call at the public hearing. If written materials are presented to the Commission by an applicant or member of the public, a copy should be made available for public review by filing the materials with the Secretary at least three (3) days in advance of the meeting at which the item or matter is scheduled to be considered or at the time the materials are provided to any Commissioner, whichever is earliest.
