PUBLIC COMMENT TIME

Bedford Township operates under rules of parliamentary procedure, which states,  “Citizens have the right to attend the meetings and be permitted to address the body on matters that are relevant to business.  Citizens must observe all of the rules that are set.  Members of the public attending the meetings of the governmental body DO NOT have the right to interrupt or heckle.  During public comment time, they have the right to ask to be heard by requesting permission of the body through the Chair.  All questions, comments and remarks must ALWAYS be addressed through the Chair.”  Public Comment time is just that—an opportunity for the public to comment.  It is NOT a time for a debate, exchange of ideas, or opportunity to harass board members, none of which will be permitted at Bedford Township Board meetings.
