Important Information:

• Speakers will be addressed in the order that they registered.
• Speakers who have prepared written remarks are encouraged to leave a copy of such remarks with the Town Clerk. Speakers who have materials they wish to have distributed to the Board related to the item they plan to discuss shall provide ten (10) copies of those documents to the Town Clerk prior to the start of the meeting.
• To avoid repetition and delay, groups of people supporting the same position are encouraged to designate a spokesperson. If a spokesperson is designated, the spokesperson shall identify the group for whom they are speaking, how many of that group are present, and the authority to act as a spokesperson (ex. HOA President). The spokesperson may recognize a group by asking them to raise their hand or stand.
• Designated spokespersons representing a group of 4 or more people who are present will be allowed to speak for up to 6 minutes.
• The total time for the public comment period will not exceed 30 minutes, or 10 speakers, whichever occurs first.
