10. OPEN PUBLIC FORUM
Rationale

Members of the audience are invited to address the City Commission on any matter of public concern that was not on tonight’s agenda.  Comments are limited to issues within the scope and responsibility of this Commission.

City Commission meetings are held to conduct city business for the benefit of Owensboro citizens and taxpayers.  The meetings are not intended to serve as public forums for candidates who are campaigning for political office.  Political candidates, like any citizen, may address any item on the City Commission’s agenda.  During the open public forum, any citizen of Owensboro may address a specific city-related issue not on the agenda, but candidates for any political office will not be allowed to use the Commission meeting to promote his/her candidacy for public office.

At this time, anyone who wishes to address the City Commission please make their way to the podium to be recognized.  Speakers must state their name and address for the Clerk’s record, and limit their remarks to three (3) minutes or less.  Since the item is not on the agenda, no response is required from City staff or the Commission.  The Mayor reserves the right to extend time to the speaker.

11. CLOSED SESSION
