Each speaker will be required to follow general meeting decorum, and limit <br />discussion to the topic(s) they are presenting. <br />b. Persons wishing to be heard shall be recognized by the Mayor by raising their hand or <br />standing. Each person recognized for the purpose of addressing the Commission <br />shall step forward to the podium and microphone, identify himself or herself by name <br />and address for the record, and present his or her item. Each person shall be <br />allotted three (3) minutes to sneak.

Persons introducing items which are lengthy in content and/or technical in nature <br />(containing many detailed points) shall be encouraged to submit such issues or items <br />in writing to the City Clerk, for dissemination to the Commission according to normal <br />distribution policies and rules. Such submission shall include the name and address <br />of the submitting person. <br />d. Input and issues from members of the audience regarding any item not on the agenda <br />or on the Consent Agenda will be received during "Citizens' Comments". <br />e. Persons in the audience who wish to present additional information and/or questions <br />regarding items on the regular agenda may do so at the time the particular item is <br />being presented, rather than during the Citizens' Comments portion of the agenda <br />(except Public Hearing items}, which are addressed at the time of the Public Hearing <br />and Consent Agenda items, which are received during "Citizens' Comments). <br />7. Consent Agenda. The Consent Agenda shall be limited to those items which are <br />reasonably expected to be approved by the Commission. Items placed on the Consent <br />Agenda will not be discussed or debated at any length, other than brief questions or <br />clarifications. If one or more members of the Commission wish to discuss or debate any <br />one or more issue(s) on the consent agenda, he or she may make a request to remove such <br />item(s) from the Consent Agenda to be considered independently immediately following <br />action on other items that may be on the Consent Agenda. One singular motion and vote <br />will be taken to approve or deny the Consent Agenda as presented and/or modified. <br />8. Public Hearings. In keeping with Section 166.041(3)(a) of the Florida Statutes <br />regarding due process, the Second Readings of all proposed Ordinances shall beheld <br />during the Public Hearing segment of the agenda.
