Meet Our Township Committee

Public Participation

Public Comment

Public comment is a very important part of the Township Committee's proceedings. Opportunities to comment occur during Township Committee Business Meetings which follow a formal agenda. Public comment is invited on three occasions during the meeting:

• After the opening formalities, the public is invited to make initial brief comments on public issues and concerns.

• Public hearings occur during the meeting and at that time comments from members of the audience are accepted on those specific matters which have been published previously.

• At the conclusion of the business meeting, additional open public comment is permitted.

When addressing the Committee, the Committee requests that the public observe the following procedures to ensure that every citizen is treated courteously and has an opportunity to speak:

• Come forward to the microphone when you speak.

• When recognized by the Chair, state your name and address for the official record before directing your question or comment to the presiding officer.
