Civility: Being "civil" is not a restraint on the First Amendment right to speak out, but it is more than just being polite.
Civility is stating your opinions and beliefs, without degrading someone else in the process. Civility requires a person
to respect other people's opinions and beliefs even if he or she strongly disagrees. It is finding a common ground for
dialogue with others. It is being patient, graceful, and having a strong character. That's why we say "Character Counts"
in Town of Loxahatchee. Civility is practiced at all Town meetings.
Special Needs: In accordance with the provisions of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA), persons in need of a
