CCR20200xx-Public Comment Info
INFORMATION FOR PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
AT COMMON COUNCIL MEETINGS
The City of Muskego protocol for public comment, public hearings and public
information meetings is one of respect for the process and for others. While healthy
discussion is encouraged, applauding, cheering or negative outbursts stifle the
democratic process. We request that all participants be treated with respect so that all
are given a fair and equal opportunity to address the Council. We ask that you assist
other participants in maintaining a professional decorum. Public Comment on Council
agenda matters is for City residents or taxpayers only.
In order to insure that everyone will have an equal opportunity to speak, the
following rules will apply:
1. Please make your comments as concise as possible. In the case of “Public
Comment,” each speaker shall be limited to a maximum of three minutes per
person per agenda item. The above noted times do not pertain to public hearings
or public informational meetings.
2. For public comment at Council meetings, you must first register with the City
Clerk in writing using the attached form. For participation in public hearings and
public information meetings, please sign in on the “Guest Sign In” sheet.
3. Speakers will be limited to making comments related to all agenda items
excluding closed session items relating to employment and labor issues.
4. If your discussion topic is the subject of a public hearing on the agenda, please
speak during that portion of the meeting. Public comments are made when the
Public Comment item is addressed on the agenda.
5. If a previous speaker addressed your comment, please state that the prior
comment reflects your intent and please do not restate the comment.
6. There will be no discussion by/with Alderpersons during Public Comment portion
of the agenda.
