In addition, the City Council may set a public hearing in order to receive public input prior to making decisions which impact the citizens. Certain matters may be controversial, and the City Council may choose to seek public opinion through the public hearing process. Public Hearing Procedure: All comments must be made at the podium after the speaker first gives his/her name and address so that comments and speaker identification become part of the record. The Mayor may indicate the amount of time available for each hearing. So that all persons have an opportunity to speak, the Mayor may limit the amount of time permitted each speaker. In making your presentation to the Council, the following format may be helpful: PURPOSE: What is the idea you wish to present? Begin with an "1 statement" outlining your idea, such as, "1 am here to (support/oppose)..." REASON: Why are you making this point? This is an important step so the listener does not make assumptions about your motives. EXAMPLE: Brief and relevant example to clarify and make your point concrete. SUMMARY: What condition will be changed or improved if your point is adopted? ACT/ON: (If appropriate, depending on the situation). What needs to be done and who will do it?
