Miller, City Manager Attachments Included ### Attachments Sent Separately or Previously South Burlington City Council Meeting Participation Guidelines The City Council Chair is presenting these guidelines for public participation and attendance at City Council meetings in an effort to insure that everyone has a chance to be heard and meetings function as smoothly as possible. 1. Please raise your hand to be recognized to speak. The Chair will make every effort to recognize the public in the order in which hands are raised. 2. Once recognized by the Chair, please identify yourself to Council. 3. If the Council has suggested time limits, please respect them. Time limits will be used when they can aid in making sure everyone is heard and sufficient time is available for Council to conduct business items. 4. In order for City Councilors and other members of the audience to hear speakers' remarks, side conversations between audience members should be kept to an absolute minimum. The hallway outside the Community Room is available should people wish to chat more fully. 5. Please address the Chair. Please do not address other audience members or staff or presenters and please do not interrupt others when they are speaking. 6. Make every effort not to repeat the points made by others. 7. The Chair will make reasonable efforts to allow everyone who is interested in participating to speak once before speakers address the Council for a second time. 8. Council desires to be as open and informal as possible within the construct that the Council meeting is an opportunity for Councilors to discuss, debate and decide upon policy matters. Council meetings are not"town meetings". To this end,after the public has had the opportunity to make comments,the Chair may ask that discussion be among Councilors.
