No one will be discouraged or prevented from making their views heard. Council members may ask questions of you following your presentation but Council’s function during this public hearing is to listen to the views of the public, not to debate the proposed bylaws and proposed policy. After the public hearing and concurrent public meeting has concluded, Council may, without further notice, give whatever effect Council believes proper to the representations. Your only opportunity to comment on the proposed bylaws is during the public hearing. Council is not permitted to receive further submissions once Council has closed the public hearing. Council has received documents which are available for the public to view. A list of documents and copies of these may be obtained from the Corporate Officer during the public hearing and concurrent public meeting. Written submissions received during the course of these proceedings will be added to these documents so that the public may examine them. To maintain order and to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to be heard here are the rules of procedure: 1. A Speakers List has been established. You may place your name on the list at any time throughout the public hearing and concurrent public meeting. If you are speaking from prepared remarks, Council requests that a copy be provided to the Corporate Officer. 2. Council requests that you please begin your remarks by providing your name and city of residence. If you are speaking on behalf of some other person or organization, Council requests that you please identify the name of that person or organization. 3. Please limit your remarks to 5 minutes and to the subject of the proposed bylaws and proposed policy. A bell will sound when you have 15 seconds remaining to speak. Please be respectful to others. 4.
