GUIDELINES FOR PUBLIC PARTICIPATION DURING
TOWN HALL MEETINGS
Town Board meetings are held to allow
the Board to conduct town business. The
meetings are held in public but are not
public meetings. However, the Board
invites public
participation
within the following guidelines.
1. Public participation will occur at the
beginning and at the end of each
Board meeting. The Board may determine other appropriate
times for
the public to participate.
2. The duration of public participation will be
3 minutes per person.
Generally, each of the public
participation periods will be 15 minutes
in duration.
3. The Board retains the right to vary the
practices for public participation at
any given Town Board meeting.
4. In most instances, unless the matter is on
the agenda or is of an
emergency nature, the Board will not
respond to public comments
at the time provided. The matter may appear on future agendas
available at the 3 post offices, Town
Clerks office or the Public Library

Rules of Order for Public Hearing
The purpose of a hearing
is for the Board to receive opinions and questions from members of the public
with respect to a specified topic/law etc.
Thus, you are asked to comply with the rules for conducting the hearing.
1. The chair will recognize person(s) to speak. Please wait until recognized by the chair.
2. Comments should be limited to the topic of the
hearing. Comments about other issues can
be made during
"public comment" of a regular meeting.
3. Comments should be prefaced with your name and
address. You are asked to be clear and
concise in your
presentation out of consideration for other persons wishing to speak.
4. A hearing is not a debate between private parties
or with the Board. Rather, it is a time
for the Board to hear view points. Thus, you are asked to address the Town
Board. You are asked not to address
other members of the public.
5. The Board will attempt to answer questions but may
have to delay response if information is not available.
