Henry,

 

"Roberts Rules of Order Revised" and The City of Topeka Governing Body Rules & Procedures govern meeting proceedings including public comment. View the City of Topeka GB Rules & Procedures online here.  These rules address the conduct of meetings or other procedural matters, such as the order of business, content of reports or length of time that may be spent on a topic of discussion etc.  KOMA mandates that the meeting must be conducted in a way that the public may observe or listen to the proceedings.  

 

Please review GB Rules & Procedures 2.9, 5.5 and 8.11.

 

Thank you.

What is the current city policy for public comment @ open meetings? 

 

The Kansas Open Meetings Act (KOMA), KSA 75-4317 does NOT require public comment. Do the council rules supersede KOMA?
