Public Comment Opportunities to be Offered During the September 15 City Commission Meeting

Members of the public who would like to address the Commission (either virtually or in-person) are required to either sign up or call 701.241.1310 in advance to register.

The ability to sign up for speaking at the upcoming City Commission meeting will be offered beginning at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, September 11 and all requests must be submitted by 12 noon on Monday, September 15.

No late or in-person signups immediately before or during the Commission meeting will be accepted.

City staff will be in contact with individuals who signed up to coordinate logistical information for the comment opportunity.

Each individual will be allowed up to 2.5 minutes to speak. In order to ensure the comment period does not extend beyond the allotted 30 minutes, no more than 12 individuals will be permitted to sign up for the comment period. Presentations and videos will not be allowed during the comment period.

Resident Comment on Regular Agenda Items

Members of the public who wish to address the City Commission may do so for topics on the regular agenda during that section of the agenda following the staff presentation. At the beginning of an agenda item, the Mayor will state the number of speakers and the time to be allotted for public comments.

Resident Comment on Non-Agenda Items

At the end of the City Commission meeting, there will be a general public comment period for items not on that evening's meeting agenda. Rules for this comment period will be the same as the rules for individuals’ comments on agenda items.
