From the City of Edgewater:
In furtherance of our commitment to public comment at a City Council meeting, City Council revised their Rules of Procedures to include a public comment registration process. Registration requests must be sent to the City Clerk a minimum of 6 hours prior to the City Council Meeting.
The full process is as follows:
First priority shall be given to individuals who register in advance with the City Clerk’s Office, no later than 12:00pm, the day of the Council Meeting. At the Council meeting, registered public commenters will be called upon in the order in which they were received.
Second Priority shall be given to individuals physically present at the Council meeting who request to provide comment after the registered public comment period has concluded. No individual will be recognized to provide public comment, virtually, unless such person registers with the City Clerk’s Office by 12:00pm the day of the Council Meeting.
Public comments are limited to a maximum of three (3) minutes per speaker. This maximum per comment period for all speakers may be amended by the Mayor or other Chair of the meeting.
The City shall use its best efforts to give each speaker a clear visual representation of their time limit in real-time, including a count-down or other warning system when the speaker’s time is about to expire. At the conclusion of a speaker’s allotted time, their microphone or speaker may be disable/muted.
