The following is a guideline for those wishing to speak at City Council. 

• Persons wanting to address the City Council will place their name on the speaker list by contacting the Clerk-Treasurer via signing up in-person, or filling out a form online prior to the meeting. The Clerk-Treasurer will maintain the speaker list and make the list available until one-half (1/2) hour prior to the beginning of the City Council meeting. 
• Speakers will be called in the order they appear on the list for each topic. Speakers must stand at the podium, state their name/address, and briefly describe their issue. 
• Speakers wanting to address the City Council on a public hearing item will be allocated a maximum of five (5) minutes. 
• Speakers wanting to address the City Council for general issues or concerns unrelated to any items on the City Council's agenda will be allocated a maximum of three (3) minutes each. The maximum time limit for all speakers wanting to address the City Council for general issues or concerns is thirty (30) minutes. 
• The Mayor or meeting chair may reduce the allocation of time per speaker in order to accommodate a larger number of speakers. 
• The Mayor or meeting chair may limit immaterial, unnecessary or redundant comments and/or presentations.
• Speakers and audience members at City Council meetings are expected to conduct themselves in a civil and respectful manner. Speakers and audience members should refrain from personal attacks against any person, name calling, and inflammatory language. Disruptive conduct may result in removal from the meeting.
• Speakers must address the City Council with their comments and should not address their comments towards fellow audience members. The City Council will not engage in a dialogue or debate with any speaker pertaining to any comments made.
