Notice to citizens who wish to speak |
Citizens may petition the Council regarding matters germane to Town policies or business but not appearing on the agenda at petition time. The Council strongly discourages petitions regarding a matter that recently has been, or soon will be before the Council as a public hearing item. Petition time is not intended to substitute for public hearings. As a courtesy to others, a citizen speaking on an agenda item or making a petition is normally limited to three minutes. Persons who are organizing a group presentation and who wish to speak beyond the three minute limit are requested to make prior arrangements through the Mayor’s Office by calling 968-2714. If you wish to address the Council this evening, please go to the front right corner of the Council Chamber and sign up with the Town Clerk. The Council may change the order in which agenda items are presented. | |
| Concept Plans | Presentations for Concept Plans will be limited to 15 minutes. | |
| Attorneys | If you are representing a person with an interest in a quasi-judicial proceeding on this agenda and believe you may wish to cross-examine a witness, please identify yourself as such to the Town Clerk. For the sake of maintaining an accurate public record all speakers must be prepared to speak into an amplified microphone and must provide their name to the Town Clerk. | |
