Agenda reiterates public comment rules and civility standards for South Salt Lake meetings
Summary
The April 29 agenda and Exhibit A restate public comment rules: speakers must state name and residence, are limited to three minutes (or less if many wish to speak), may submit written comments to the City Recorder, and must follow civility standards called the 'Dignity Index.'
The agenda and accompanying Exhibit A explain the City’s public comments and public hearing rules: speakers must come to the podium and state their names and the municipality in which they reside, and are generally limited to three minutes (with the Conducting Council Member able to shorten time when many wish to speak). Written comments may be submitted to the City Recorder at least two hours prior to the meeting for distribution to Council members. The rules emphasize civility and reference a Dignity Index for acceptable decorum.
Exhibit A clarifies that public comments relating to a specific agenda item may be postponed until that item is presented and that the Conducting Council Member has discretion over who may respond. The agenda text also notes accessibility contact information for auxiliary aids.
