Trustee Kane proposed a change to the agenda of the Village Board meetings, suggesting a 5 minute time limit for speakers plus some small changes he spelled out in a note to the whole board. Mayor Elliott asked the Board to adopt the policy of limiting citizen participation for individuals to 5 minutes each for items on the agenda plus an additional 5 minute per speaker at the end of the agenda for all other items. Trustee Schmidt asked for further discussion on this, he is in favor of some restriction, but would like a clear policy on what the restrictions would be. Trustee Grant stated that this has surfaced before and suggested this is a new beginning, all will try to work together and allow as many people as possible to speak; she supports the idea. Mayor Elliott stated that he
would like to try this for a while, but it can be revisited in a work session.
Mayor Elliott closed the Organization Meeting at 8:20 p.m. and opened the Regular Board Meeting.
Respectfully submitted,
Phyllis A. Bradbury, Secretary
