Civility: Being "civil" is not a restraint on the First Amendment right to speak out, but it is more than just being polite. Civility is stating your opinions and beliefs, without degrading someone else in the process. Civility requires a person to respect other people's opinions and beliefs even if he or she strongly disagrees. It is finding a common ground for dialogue with others. It is being patient, graceful, and having a strong character. That's why we say "Character Counts" in Indiantown. Civility is practiced at all Village meetings.

Special Needs: If anyone attending this meeting requires a reasonable accommodation, please contact LaRhonda McBride, Village Clerk, by telephone at (772) 597-9900 or by email at lmcbride@indiantownfl.gov at least 48 hours in advance.

Quasi-Judicial Hearings: Some of the matters on the Agenda may be "quasi-judicial" in nature. Village Council Members are required to disclose all ex-parte communications regarding these items and are subject to voir dire by any affected party regarding those communications. All witnesses testifying will be "sworn" prior to their testimony.

Appeal of Decision: If a person decides to appeal any decision made by the Village Council with respect to any matter considered at this meeting, he or she will need a record of the proceeding, and for that purpose, may need to ensure that a verbatim record of the proceeding is made, which record includes any testimony and evidence upon which the appeal will be based.
