How do I speak at a Town Council Meeting?

Public Comment at Town Council Meetings

The Public Comment period is an opportunity for residents to share thoughts, suggestions, or concerns directly with the Town Council during regular meetings.


How to Sign Up to Speak:

  • A sign-up sheet will be available 20 minutes before the meeting begins.

  • The sign-up sheet is located on the podium at the front of the Council Chambers.

  • In-person sign-up only – requests by phone or email will not be accepted.

  • Speakers will be recognized by the Mayor in the order their names appear on the list.


Speaking Guidelines:

  • All comments must be made from the podium.

  • Begin by stating your name and address clearly.

  • Each speaker is allowed up to three (3) minutes to speak.

  • If representing a group or organization, please select one spokesperson to speak on behalf of the group.

  • Comments may be made on agenda or non-agenda items, unless the topic is scheduled for a Public Hearing—in that case, comments must be made during the designated hearing time.
