How to make Public Comments during a City Council Meeting
The Burlington City Council is committed to allowing members of the public an opportunity to offer comments during a designated time at regular City Council Meetings. In addition to public hearings, any person wishing to speak during the Public Comments period may sign up to do so prior to the beginning of the meeting at a designated area on a form that will include your name, address and topic of comment.
The public comment period is limited to 30 minutes unless City Council by majority votes to extend this period. Each individual signed up will be allowed 5 minutes to comment. Multiple speakers wanting to speak on the same subject matter, with the same position, are encouraged to have a single person speak for all.
The sign up sheet will be provided to the the Mayor prior to the Call to Order of the meeting. The Mayor will announce the public comment period and will call on those signed up in the order received to approach the designated podium/microphone to speak at which time they will state their name and address. Speakers with documents/handouts should provide copies ahead of the comment period to the City Clerk or Deputy City Clerk to distribute.
