Addressing the Commission

The public is allowed to speak to any regular agenda item or give public comment after first being recognized by the Mayor. Individuals are asked to come to the microphone, sign in, and state their name and address. Comments should be brief. Speakers should address all comments to the commission directly and not to an individual commissioner. When the Mayor or City Commission determines that time limitations are necessary, reasonable time limits for presentations and comments may be imposed. Courtesy shall be given to all speakers.

If you have hearing or visual impairments, please contact the City Clerk's Office prior to the meeting to arrange for adaptive features or special accommodations. Accessible parking spaces are available behind City Hall, in the parking lot at 6th and Massachusetts (opposite City Hall, enter from 6th Street), and in the Riverfront Plaza street level parking garage (adjacent to City Hall, enter from New Hampshire Street).
