RESOLUTION NO. q -2005
A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING PROCEDURES FOR CITY COUNCIL
MEETINGS.
WHEREAS, The City Council of the City of Van Buren previously allowed a
"Miscellaneous and General Discussion" at the end of its regular
meetings for any citizen to speak to the Council; and
WHEREAS, Meetings became too lengthy when any citizen was allowed an
unlimited period of time to speak and, therefore, the miscellaneous
and general discussion time was removed from the agenda for
regular meetings; and
WHEREAS, The Council desires to allow citizens to speak at City Council
meetings while controlling the length of time permitted to speak to
prevent meetings from becoming overly long.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF VAN BUREN, ARKANSAS, THAT:
SECTION 1: That there shall be a "Miscellaneous and General Discussion"
period added to the agenda for all regular city council meetings;
however, each citizen desiring to speak shall be limited to a two
minute time period to speak
