Brant Town Board Meeting Policy
Councilman Kujawinski made the following motion #92: and read the following:
Motion is made to rescind and void the Brant Town Board Policy established at the Organizational Meetings of the Brant Town Board on 03 Jan 08 and 06 Jan 09 because it eliminates the right of citizens to address their elected officials and their right to participate in the democratic process of this American Community.
It is further moved to establish an alternative policy that restores the right of citizens to address their elected officials in a civil, reasonable, timely, and uninterrupted manner.
Under the ?Acknowledgement of Visitors? segment, those wishing to address the board shall be recognized by the chair and limit their comments to three uninterrupted minutes (unless there are extenuating circumstances) and multiple speakers to 12 minutes about the same topic. Preference will be given to discussion regarding agenda items followed by ?new? concerns. Any member of the board may respond verbally for up to one minute, a board member may be chosen to respond to the original speaker in writing prior to the next regularly scheduled board meeting, or the board may elect to respond verbally with a detailed report at the next regularly scheduled board
meeting and have the topic clearly listed on the coming agenda under ?Old Business?.
Supervisor Pero asked why, as everything is working fine, Fullone agreed. Motion seconded #92 by Councilman Gier. Councilman Kujawinski stated reasons: agendas are not given ahead of time and how can people have comments or questions ready on Thursday when there is no list of topics
available till Monday or later. Pero said residents may bring issues to the Supervisor, a Board member or clerk and then board can bring forward & why should people be given an agenda to take apart and figure out how they can disrupt meetings.
