[0:00] um in the front we support and we encourage public comment public comment [0:05] is a privilege not a right um so I'm covering bodies are not [0:09] required to have public comment on the agenda but under our town ordinance it's [0:14] allowed subject to very reasonable rules adopted by Council and I'm going to read [0:18] just a few of these that are pertinent um [0:21] to the entire segment so you speak three minutes regardless of whether the person [0:27] is speaking on their behalf or as an agent for others meeting attendees may [0:32] not donate transfer yield or if all or any portion of their speaking time to [0:36] another person all public comments are be conducted from the podium and [0:40] directed to this Council as a whole and not to any member thereof all speaker [0:45] shall be mindful and respectful of those participating in or present at the [0:50] meeting they shall be expected to be civil in their language and child [0:53] refrain from comments or behavior that involves disorderly speech reaction and [0:57] calling personal attacks threats abstain or indecent remarks or disrupted actions [1:02] you shall confine your comments to the jurisdiction of this [1:06] um Council and this is not a period where you promote advertise Awards [1:11] businesses Services Goods or candidates for public office anyone that violates [1:16] these rules will be ruled out of order and this is pursuant to our section 2.49 [1:21] of the town code [1:56] let me just finish the very first thing as you may not donate transfer yield or [2:01] giving any time you were present and we would honor we would love to hear your [2:05] public comment but you have to get it if Mr hogling is that he's up here one time [2:10] and you're not going to be able to give yourself the way it works no I'm sorry [2:14] it's not the way it works [2:22] you serve the public we don't serve you so let me let me have my comment a POA [2:52] [Music] [2:59] we have reasonable rules of protocol if you do not like our rules you can go out [3:05] and call your attorney and file another lawsuit against us [3:10] but I am sorry okay go ahead I'll finish go ahead thank you and then I will let [3:15] you talk okay [3:19] and we would love for her to come up but what I've seen is really when she speaks [3:24] it's very respectful and she puts out the issues of the day she is here she [3:29] cannot yield or transfer her time to you if she does then you're speaking for her [3:35] and you're not going to be able to speak your public comment those are our rules [3:39] okay so okay ready all right so um read yours first sir um [3:47] the power of attorney that has been presented by Miss Greely is not in [3:51] accordance with the southbound uniform um Power attorney act it's not properly [3:56] witnessed notarized neither does it have the language that is required on Section [4:01] 62-8-120 so we do not have to um acknowledge this but even if we did [4:08] Mr Hogan you personally whether it is donated by somebody else whatever you [4:14] are limited to three minutes now when you want your three minutes to start [4:17] we'll start it but you will not get six you'll get three I I'm I'm gonna you're [4:21] not gonna be allowed to violate her power returning you're not going to be [4:25] allowed to do that and I'm going to make my three-minute comment and if you don't [4:28] want to hear my comment or my comment from us really you could certainly leave [4:33] the room yourself I'm not going to leave the room this this is not your house

claiming that's a legal document you want to argue that [4:50] and if you want us to get that all notarized and all that other stuff [4:55] this is a business meeting which where we allow public comment I would suggest [5:01] you reading your public comment if you think it's more important because you're [5:05] going to read three minutes I'm going to get up I'm going to get up I'm going to [5:07] read this one and I'm gonna get up read mine and then you're gonna yes [5:11] I'm sorry that's the way it's going to work I had one question yes sir [5:15] um are you a citizen of London
