WELCOME TO THE HAMPTON CITY COUNCIL MEETING Because of the large number of matters that need consideration, the has established a meeting format and certain guidelines for citizen participation. These help ensure that everyone who wishes to speak can do so, and that the Council can benefit from hearing as many different people as possible in the shortest time. From time to time, It may be in the public's interest to change the format and guidelines, and the Council can do so at its discretion without prior notice. THE ORDER OF BUSINESS The Council generally conducts meetings in the following order: (1) Call to Order (2) Ceremonial Matters (3) Consent Agenda (4) Regular Business Agenda (5) Audiences Granted to the General Public (6) Miscellaneous New Business (7) Adjournment Agenda items are taken up one at a time in the order in which they are listed. Matters on the consent agenda are routine and are adopted by one motion without seperate discussion. However, items can be moved from the consent agenda to the regular agenda upon request by a citizen or a member of the Council. Keep in mind that the agenda is for the convenience of the public and the Council, and that it can be altered by the Council at any time without prior notice when the Council considers it in the public's interest to do so. CITIZENS ARE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE The has adopted a three (3) minute time limit policy for individuals desiring to address issues before this body. If you wish to address the, please sign in before the meeting on the sign-up sheet located in the rear of Council Chambers. Please include your name and the subject on which you wish to speak, including the docket number if it is an item on the agenda. If you wish to address Council on a non-agenda item, the permission of Council is necessary. If you are with a group of people, you may want to have a spokesman or two present your position to the Council and have others in agreement recognized by standing. The Council will always try to hear everyone who wishes to speak on a subject, but sometimes discussion has to be limited due to time. If the previous speaker has stated your position, you may make that known by reference (for example, "I agree with the position stated by Mr. Jones and have nothing further to add"). Repetition of positions by more than one speaker often uses more time than necessary. Speakers are generally limited to one appearance, although Council can allow exceptions at its discretion. If possible, you should speak from prepared remarks to the subject under discussion. Irrelevant comments use others' time and your own and detract from your statements on the matter being considered. Meetings of the Council are formal proceedings, and all comments are recorded on tape and by stenographer. For that reason, you are requested not to speak from your seat or out of turn. When you are called by the presiding officer, please follow these steps: (1) Come forward to the speaker's podium. (2) State your name and address (3) State your conclusion and give facts and other data to back it up. (4) If you represent a group or organization, ask the others to rise and be recognized. (5) If you have a written statement, give it and other supportive material to the Clerk for the record. The above guidleines are intended to encourage the greatest possible participation by citizens at Council meetings. They can be modified at any time by the Council at its discretion and without prior notice. Thank you for taking your time to participate in the Council meeting.
