Meetings of the Commission shall be conducted pursuant to the Rules of Order of the General Assembly and shall follow an agenda which makes provision for the review of minutes of previous meetings, the completion of unfinished business, the taking up of new business and the receipt of public participation.

Special meetings may be called by the Chairman or any three members of the Commission upon giving due notice to the members of the Commission. No matter shall be taken up at any meeting of the Commission which represents a final recommendation or report of the Commission without due notice having been provided in the call of the meeting.

Public meetings or public hearings may be called by a vote of the Commission and such meetings shall be held only after the giving of such public notice as shall be deemed appropriate to bring the matters to the attention of the general public and such special notice to interested parties as shall be appropriate.

At all regular, special, or public meetings of the Commission all persons in attendance may make oral or written petitions or presentations of their views directly or through a representative provided that the Chairman shall have the responsibility of marshaling the time available so as to make the members of the Commission available to all of those desiring to state their views, recommendations and opinions.
