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 Groves. 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. 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.
