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

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
