City Council Meetings are an opportunity for the public to speak on issues of concern.
This can be done in two ways:
- Based on the Request to Speak Forms received, the Mayor will call for comments during the appropriate agenda item. Each person who submitted a request for that topic may go to the podium and speak to the Council.
- At the completion of the listed agenda items, there is an Audience to be Heard portion when the public can go to the podium and speak on any topic of concern whether it is on the day's agenda or not. Persons who filled out a Request to Speak Form on a topic not on the current Council agenda will be called to the podium during this time.
Once the City Council agenda has been compiled and posted, any person wishing to speak at the meeting must complete a Request to Speak Form online or at the meeting. Forms will also be available in the Council Chambers 30 minutes prior to the meeting for the public to fill in and submit to the City Clerk before the meeting starts.
Please contact the City Clerk with any questions at susie.novack@tavaresfl.gov or 352.742.6209.
