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 is why we say "Character Counts" in the 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 special
accommodation to participate in this proceeding shall within three business days prior to any proceeding, contact the Town
Clerk’s Office, 155 F Road, Loxahatchee Groves, Florida, (561) 793-2418.
Quasi-Judicial Hearings: Some of the matters on the agenda may be "quasi-judicial" in nature. Town Council Members are
required to disclose all ex-parte communications regarding these items and are subject to voir dire (a preliminary examination of
a witness or a juror by a judge or council) by any affected party regarding those communications. All witnesses testifying will be
"sworn" prior to their testimony. However, the public is permitted to comment, without being sworn. An unsworn comment will
be given its appropriate weight by the Town Council.
Appeal of Decision: If a person decides to appeal any decision made by the Town Council with respect to any matter considered
at this meeting, he or she will need a record of the proceeding, and for that purpose, may need to ensure that a verbatim record of
the proceeding is made, which record includes any testimony and evidence upon which the appeal will be based.
Consent Calendar: Those matters included under the Consent Calendar are typically self-explanatory, non-controversial, and are
not expected to require review or discussion. All items will be enacted by a single motion. If discussion on an item is desired, any
Town Council Member, without a motion, may "pull" or remove the item to be considered separately. If any item is quasi-
judicial, it may be removed from the Consent Calendar to be heard separately, by a Town Council Member, or by any member of
the public desiring it to be heard, without a motion.
