Visitor Orientation to the Town Council Meeting

Welcome to this evening’s Council meeting. Please note that the purpose of the meeting is for the Council to accomplish its work within a qualitative time frame. Meetings are open to the public, but public participation is limited. If you wish to be heard by the Council, please not the “Public Forum” at the beginning of the meeting to speak on items on a meeting agenda and/or matters pertaining to the business of the Council. In addition, public hearings may be scheduled for public comment on specific matters.

Speakers must be residents of the Town of Newmarket, property owners in the Town of Newmarket, and/or designated representatives of a recognized civic organization of business located in the Town of Newmarket. When they are at the podium, speakers first need to recite their name and address for the record. Visitors should address their comments to the presiding officer and the Council as a body and not to any individual member.

Each speaker shall be provided a single opportunity for comment, limited to three (3) minutes. Public forum shall be limited to fifteen (15) minutes. Visitors should not expect a response to their comments or questions since the Council may not have discussed or taken a position on a matter. Public Forum is not a two-way dialogue between speaker(s), Councilors, and/or the Town Manager. The Chair will preserve a strict order and decorum at all Town Council meetings. Outbursts from the public are not permitted.
