To discuss items identified on the agenda as “Public Hearing” the Public Hearing Comment (green) card should be completed. (Please circle “In Favor” or “Opposed” on the card as you will be summoned by that category.)

To discuss non-agenda items, or those items on the agenda that are NOT public hearings, the Citizen Comment (yellow) card should be completed. (Please state topic you would like to comment on.)

At the appropriate time during the meeting, the Mayor will call speakers to come forward. After being recognized by the Mayor, the individual should come to the podium and, for the public record, state their name, address, whether they are a resident taxpayer of the City of Bradenton, and whether they are in favor of or against the item they wish to address. In the case of an agent, they shall identify themselves, identify their clients by name, their clients’ address, whether their clients are resident taxpayers of the City of Bradenton, and whether their clients are in favor of or against the topic they wish to address. The speaker should then proceed to state their position or present their information.

An individual appearance on all items will be limited to three (3) minutes unless the Mayor rules otherwise. Additional time will be allowed (up to 10 minutes at the discretion of the Mayor) if the speaker is officially representing a group, provided that proof is given that the person is authorized to speak on their behalf.
