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.
