Discuss Rules And Policies Regarding Public Participation At Meetings
On September 12, 2013 the Village of Tequesta adopted resolution 25-13 that provides for public
participation rules and polices in accordance with Florida Statutes section 286.0114. The resolution
allows and welcomes comments from the public that wish to speak. Each speaker is allowed (1)
opportunity per topic to speak for a maximum of 3 minutes unless additional time is allowed by the
presiding officer. The rules specifically prohibit speakers from allotting their time to another speaker.
At the May 12, 2022 Regular Council meeting a citizen request that we revisit our rules and allow for
citizens to allot their time to another speaker and/or consider additional time.
Attached staff has included the resolution. The rules and policies are in -line with many other
municipalities in PBC, State of Florida, and the U.S.
