Public Comment Details

Residents may speak either in person or online. While early sign-up through the online form is strongly encouraged, participants may also register to speak up until the start of the meeting. Speakers will be called in the order in which they have signed up.

Each speaker will be allotted three minutes to address the Council. If more than 20 speakers register, speaking time will be reduced to two minutes to allow broader participation.

Speakers may choose to pool their time with one additional participant, allowing a designated speaker to use the combined time. A 20-second warning will be given before time expires, and speakers will be asked to conclude promptly at the buzzer.

Presentations are not permitted during public comment; however, written materials may be submitted to the Town Clerk for distribution and inclusion in meeting records.

Attendees are asked to keep any signs or materials small enough to avoid obstructing others’ views. A general estimate of speaking times will be posted on the day of the meeting. Due to anticipated attendance, participants are encouraged to watch portions of the meeting remotely when possible to help accommodate others.
