(A) Requests to appear before the Council. Any town resident (individual, firm, corporation, association or business) desiring to appear before the Council to request the Council’s action on any matter will make the request to the Mayor or Town Manager or his or her designee; provided, however, that no request will be required in order to speak to the Council.
(B) Speakers. Speakers wishing to address the Council will state their name and address and will be subject to the time limitation as the presiding officer may allot unless the Council, by majority consent, will extend that time.
(C) Council Members’ participation. Members of the Council will present their comments, insofar as possible, at the end of a presentation to avoid interrupting the speaker and duplicating matters the speaker may present.
(D) Cumulative or repetitive presentations or testimony. The presiding officer will limit presentations or testimony, insofar as practical, to avoid cumulation or repetition of any matter. Persons of the same position as a previous speaker may state their names and the positions with which they agree.
