Charter Review Committee
Speaker Request Form
The Charter Review committee values citizen comment on our work in reviewing
the City Charter.
?
The Public Forum is the time to speak to any item related to the Charter, which is
not included on the agenda.
?
Only agenda items listed as “Open for Public Input” are open for public input.
Not all agenda items are open.
?
Public comment is not a time for debate or discussion but rather an opportunity
for the public to give their input to the committee. Committee members may ask
questions of the speaker to clarify statements, but will not engage in a discussion
or debate with the speaker. A comment offered on an agenda item does not allow
the participant to continue commenting throughout the meeting deliberations.
?
Written comments are encouraged and may be sent via e-mail to
ann@ashland.or.us or mailed to Ann Seltzer, City Hall, 20 East Main Street,
Ashland Or 97520.
Please complete the information below and bring this form to a staff member. When you
name is called, please come forward to the presenter’s table and state your name and
address.
