MEETING ETIQUETTE GUIDELINES FOR THE PUBLIC
The public comment portion of the Council meeting is to allow members of the public to address the Town Council chair on any matter for up to 5 minutes. Public Hearings are noticed, and allow members of the public to address the Council on a specific matter before the Council. The Council considers public input as vital, and it is encouraged.
During public comments and public hearings, members of the Public are encouraged to follow the applicable rules of etiquette adopted for Town Councilors.
Obscene, violent, disruptive, disorderly comments, or those likely to induce violence, disruption or disorder are not permitted and will not be tolerated.
Please note that the Administrator is solely responsible for managing the Town staff, and the public is encouraged to bring complaints or concerns about the town staff directly to the Administrator and not during public comments.
