Check-in Card

To verbally object to the assessment rolls in front of the FLTF board: Receive a number. Wait in the gymnasium until your number is called. Once your number is called, proceed to the microphone at the front. If you have to leave and are not available when we call your number, we will keep track of your number. If you return later before the adjournment of the session, we will make sure you have an opportunity to return to the queue.
To deliver a written objection to the FLTF board: Hand your written objection to one of the volunteers at the check-in desk. You may also email your written objection to [email protected] by Friday, January 12.
To witness the hearing as an audience member: You will still be asked to fill out a check-in card and can then proceed to the gym to find a seat.
To cover the hearing as a member of the press/media: Inform the check-in volunteers that you're a member of the media so they can connect you with FLTF media relations.
