ADJOURNMENT
Those members of the City Council wishing to speak shall first be recognized by the Chair to speak,
and each person who speaks shall address the chair. Other persons in attendance at the meeting
shall not speak unless recognized by the Chair (Roberts’ Rules). Prior to the discussion by the
City Council on each item to be considered, the Chair shall first ask for a motion from the Council
on the item to be discussed. Once a motion is made and seconded, the City Council may discuss
the matter at hand. Once Council has finished its discussion on the matter, the Chair shall open
discussion on the matter to the public. The Chair, at his sole discretion may establish a time limit
for individual public comments on any business item if the Chair determines that time limits are
necessary to provide for the orderly conduct of the meeting (PA267 of 1976, as amended). When
the Chair determines that there are no other public comments on the business item, discussion
on the item will be closed to the public and only the City Council shall then engage in any final
discussion on the matter and act on the business item without interruption from the public.
