Ralph M. Brown Act Facts

"...pursuant to...54954.3(b)...the total time allocated for public comments on Agenda Item No. 7 will be 30 minutes..."
Can they do this? The answer is NO. Yet many local jurisdictions get away with it, because they know they can snow you, and they think no one will sue. But the process of enforcing your right to speak to the issue begins with a simple letter, and the lawsuit, if necessary, is very cheap and fast. The whole thing can be finished in six weeks.
Let's look at 54954.3 (Brown Act). You will see that (b) only sets limits to speech under 2 conditions:
First, to further the intent of (a)! That is, they can only limit people's speech if it's necessary to promote the "intent" of everyone speaking.
Second, they must pass a rule! That's right, if they have not passed a written "regulation", as stated in (b), then arguably, they can't stop you at all, the only criterion is "reasonable" time limits!
Here's the text, the details are in the case law, but not very complicated. It's all in the definition of "reasonable".
§ 54954.3 Public Comment
(a) Every agenda for regular meetings shall provide an opportunity for members of the public to directly address the legislative body on any item of interest to the public, before or during the legislative body's consideration of the item, that is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the legislative body, provided that no action shall be taken on any item not appearing on the agenda...

(b) The legislative body of a local agency
may adopt reasonable regulations to ensure that the intent of subdivision (a) is carried out, including, but not limited to, regulations limiting the total amount of time allocated for public testimony on particular issues and for each individual speaker.
So ask:
Where are your written regulations?
And how do they promote the intent of 54954.3(a)?
75 Ops.Cal.Atty.Gen. 89 (1992): A local agency legislative body may limit public testimony on particular issues at meetings to five minutes or less for each speaker, depending on the number of speakers.
Factors to consider in determining a reasonable time for public discussion are the time allocated for meeting, number of agenda items, complexity of each item, and number of persons wishing to address the legislative body on each item of general public interest.

Note that 54954.3(b) only limits time in order to further the purpose of 54954.3(a), that is, you can only limit the time in a "reasonable" manner to "ensure that the intent of subdivision (a) is carried out..."

NOT to deprive speakers of their right to comment, but to ensure that they do get that right. The bottom line is that OCSD does NOT have the right to limit total testimony to a given time limit, unless they can show that it would be necessary due to an extraordinary number of speakers. Limiting it for perverse reasons, or for convenience, is not allowed.
