Announcement: Public Hearing Procedure Mayor Kelly read the following procedure for public hearings into the record: “Public Hearings need to be organized to ensure the dual goals of orderly, timely City Council Meetings and sufficient opportunity for the considerable public input we want to encourage and protect. I would like to briefly review the procedure I have put together with input from the Council, City Attorney, and legal department of the New York Conference of Mayors. Page 8 of 15 City Council Meeting 7/17/18 One legal notice will be drafted that includes all public hearings per meeting. It will include a list of all public hearings per meeting, in the order listed on the Agenda, and have a short description for each. This should save legal time and taxpayer dollars. The time set for public hearings will be combined. Public hearings will be held from the designated start time for the first hearing until 7:00 PM, when the Council meeting begins. They will be in the order listed on the Agenda. Each one will immediately follow the last as they are opened and closed. This will avoid time wasted when the Council is required to wait until a set time has passed even though no one has shown up for a particular public hearing. City Council meetings shall begin at 7:00 PM. Public hearings should be scheduled sufficiently prior to 7:00 PM to allow time for all anticipated attendees to speak. Care must be taken to estimate the time necessary based on the issue at hand; public hearings will be scheduled as early as needed to accommodate. A time limit for speaking at public hearings may be set. The standard for setting the time limit will be “reasonable”, depending on the nature of the subject and the number of individuals who appear to speak. A sign in sheet for each public hearing may be used to facilitate determining how much time can be afforded to each person who wants to speak. Two – three minutes per person would be the objective; eight to ten minutes would be the maximum. Please note: Council members will always have the opportunity to keep a public hearing open to the next meeting. Attendees will always have the opportunity to submit comments to the City Clerk for circulation to the council, or circulate comments on their own. These procedures will be put into effect beginning with the next City Council meeting, 08/07/18 and can be modified going forward. They should help retain order and set reasonable time limits on Council meetings so that decision-making can be accomplished at optimal evening hours for both the Public and Council.” Discussion and Vote: Resolution – Justify to Saratoga Springs Mayor Kelly pulled this item from her agenda.
