RE: Public comment

Mr. McClure,

 

This email confirms you are signed up to speak under General Public Comment at the September 2, 2025, Governing Body meeting. The meeting begins at 6:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers located at 214 SE 8th Street, 2nd Floor, Topeka KS.  

 

You will have 4 minutes to address the Governing Body.

 

Per Governing Body Rule 5.5, public comments are limited to topics directly relevant to the business of the Governing Body.  Comments pertaining to personnel and litigation matters are not allowed.

 

Procedures for Addressing the Governing Body

In accordance with Governing Body Rules 5.6 and 5.7, the following protocols for public comment apply:

 

  • Each person shall state his or her name and city of residence in an audible tone for the record.
  • All remarks shall be addressed to the Governing Body as a whole -- not to any individual member.
  • In order to provide additional time for as many individuals as possible to address the Governing Body, each individual signed up to speak will need to complete his or her comments within four minutes.

 

Per Governing Body Rule 5.7, the following behavior will not be tolerated from any speaker:

 

  • Uttering fighting words
  • Slander
  • Speeches invasive of the privacy of individuals (no mention of names)  Unreasonably Loud Speech
  • Repetitious Speech or Debate
  • Speeches so disruptive of proceedings that the legislative process is substantially interrupted

 

Any speaker who engages in this type of behavior will be warned once by the presiding office (Mayor).  If the behavior continues, the speaker will be ordered to cease his or her behavior.  If the speaker persists in interfering with the ability of the Governing Body to carry out its function, he or she will be removed from the City Council Chambers or Zoom meeting room.

 

Members of the public, Governing Body and staff are expected to treat one another with respect at all times.

 

Thank you.
