Adjournment – meeting adjourned at 8:26 pm

President Huffman

Council welcomes the comments and input of the public during the Council meetings.  In order to provide an orderly fashion in which all interested parties have an opportunity to address Council, Council has adopted the following procedure for citizen’s comments during any portion of the Council meeting or Public Hearing.

Any citizen who wishes to address Council must first seek recognition from the President of Council.  Upon recognition by the President, the speaker should approach the podium, state their name and make their comments.  Speakers should not leave the podium to approach Councilmembers without first obtaining permission.  After completion of their comments, Council would request that the speakers return to their seat so that any other interested persons could then be recognized and address Council.

The purpose of this procedure is to afford the maximum opportunity for citizen input without any type of disruption of the Council proceedings.  While others are addressing Council from the podium, Council requests that audience members not make comments to Council or to individuals at the podium to prevent any potential confusion or disruption.
