Notice is hereby given that pursuant to A.R.S. § 1-602.A.9, subject to certain specified statutory exceptions, parents have a right to
consent before the State or any of its political subdivisions make a video or audio recording of a minor child. Meetings of the Town
Council are audio and/or video recorded and, as a result, proceedings in which children are present may be subject to such recording.
Parents, in order to exercise their rights may either file written consent with the Town Clerk to such recording, or take personal
action to ensure that their child or children are not present when a recording may be made. If a child is present at the time a
recording is made, the Town will assume that the rights afforded parents pursuant to A.R.S. § 1-602.A.9 have been waived.
PROCEDURE FOR ADDRESSING THE COUNCIL
Anyone wishing to speak before the Council must fill out a speaker’s card and submit it to the Town Clerk
prior to Council discussion of that Agenda item. Speaker Cards are located in the Council Chamber
Lobby and near the Clerk’s position on the dais.
Speakers will be called in the order in which the speaker cards were received either by the Clerk or the
Mayor. At that time, speakers should stand and approach the podium. Speakers are asked to state their
name and whether or not they reside in Fountain Hills (do not provide a home address) prior to
commenting and to direct their comments to the Presiding Officer and not to individual Councilmembers.
Speakers’ statements should not be repetitive. If a speaker chooses not to speak when called, the speaker
will be deemed to have waived his or her opportunity to speak on the matter. Speakers may not (i)
reserve a portion of their time for a later time or (ii) transfer any portion of their time to another speaker.
If there is a Public Hearing, please submit the speaker card to speak to that issue during the Public
Hearing.
Individual speakers will be allowed three contiguous minutes to address the Council. Time limits may be
waived by (i) discretion of the Town Manager upon request by the speaker not less than 24 hours prior to
