Title

Ordinance amending §1-102 of the Crossville Municipal Code regarding Public Comments

 

Body

SUMMARY:

Mayor Pro-Tem Harris proposes moving “Public Comments” to the first part of the Council agenda.  She feels this would give folks an opportunity to be heard prior to the Council voting on agenda items, while at the same time allowing the Council to better keep order in the meetings, i.e. people will not be speaking up at all times throughout the course of the meetings creating confusion and a less orderly meeting.  She would still allow the Mayor to recognize anyone at any time.  She also checked with the County Commission and they address public comments at the beginning of their meetings.

BUDGET ACCOUNT:

 

Recommended Action

NECESSARY COUNCIL ACTION:  Pass an ordinance to change the order of business on the agenda.
