Thank you for attending the City Commission Meeting
General Rules & Procedures for Public Participation at
City of Boynton Beach Commission Meetings
The Agenda:
There is an official agenda for every meeting of the City Commissioners, which determines the order of business conducted at the meeting. The City Commission will not take action upon any matter, proposal, or item of business, which is not listed upon the official agenda, unless a majority of the Commission has first consented to the presentation for consideration and action.
Speaking at Commission Meetings:
The public is encouraged to offer comment to the Commission at their meetings during Public Hearings, Public Audience, and on any regular agenda item, as hereinafter described.
City Commission meetings are business meetings and, as such, the Commission retains the right to impose time limits on the discussion on an issue.
Regular Agenda Items: Any citizen may speak on any official agenda item(s) listed on the agenda after a motion has been made and properly seconded, with the exception of Consent Agenda Items that have not been pulled for separate vote, reports, and presentations. - Time Limit - Three (3) Minutes.
Addressing the Commission: When addressing the Commission, please step up to either podium and state your name for the record.
Decorum: Any person who disrupts the meeting while addressing the Commission may be ordered by the presiding officer to cease further comments and/or to step down from the podium. Failure to discontinue comments or step down when so ordered shall be treated as a continuing disruption of the public meeting. An order by the presiding officer issued to control the decorum of the meeting is binding, unless over-ruled by the majority vote of the Commission members present.
Please turn off all cellular phones in the City Commission Chambers while the City Commission Meeting is in session.
