Are there time limits imposed on individuals who wish to speak at a Council meeting?
In the interest of moving the meeting along, speakers are typically allowed five minutes. If the issue has a large number of speakers wishing to address Council, the time limits can be reduced. Speakers with more information to share than can be adequately accomplished during this time frame are encouraged to prepare written documentation. Copies will be distributed to Council and Mayor. During an official public hearing, speakers will be given the full five-minute allocation of time.
