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 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 a Meeting, (ii) consensus of the Council at Meeting or (iii) the
Mayor either prior to or during a Meeting. Please be respectful when making your
comments. If you do not comply with these rules, you will be asked to leave.
