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.
