City Council Meeting City Council Meeting Final Agenda January 15, 2019
All interested persons may appear and address the City Council on Unfinished Business, New Business, and Public Hearings
at City Council meetings. If you wish to address the City Council on an agenda item, please wait for the Mayor or Chair to
request public comment then queue behind the podium. When the Mayor or Chair recognizes you, approach the podium and
give your name and address. Comments are to be addressed to the Mayor or Chair. The Mayor or Chair will direct your
comments to the appropriate elected officials, staff, or others for response. Keep your comments respectful, brief, to the
point, and relevant to the agenda item being considered. Each speaker from the public will be allowed one turn at the
microphone for discussion of an agenda item.
Below is a portion of the Rules of Order and Procedure of the Fayetteville City Council pertaining to City Council meetings:
Agenda Additions: A new item which is requested to be added to the agenda at a City Council meeting should only be
considered if it requires immediate City Council consideration and if the normal agenda setting process is not practical. The
City Council may only place such new item on the City Council meeting's agenda by suspending the rules by two-thirds
vote. Such agenda addition shall be heard prior to the Consent Agenda.
Consent Agenda: Consent Agenda items shall be read by the Mayor and voted upon as a group without discussion by the
City Council. If an Alderman wishes to comment upon or discuss a Consent Agenda item, that item shall be removed and
considered immediately after the Consent Agenda has been voted upon.
Unfinished Business and New Business:
Presentations by Staff and Applicants: Agenda items shall be introduced by the Mayor and, if an ordinance, read by the City
Attorney. City staff shall then present a report. An agenda applicant (city contractor, rezoning or development applicant,
etc.) may present its proposal only during this presentation period, but may be recalled by an alderman later to answer
questions. City staff, City Council members, and applicants may use electronic visual aids in the City Council meeting as part
of the presentation of the agenda item.
Public Comments: Public comment shall be allowed for all members of the audience on all items of old and new business and
subjects of public hearings. A simple majority of the City Council members, present and voting, may authorize a
representative of a Fayetteville citizens' group opposing the ordinance or resolution to present an electronic visual aid not to
exceed five minutes, but no other electronic visual aid presentations will be allowed; however, the public may submit photos,
petitions, etc. to be distributed to the City Council. If a member of the public wishes for the City Clerk to distribute materials
to the City Council before its meeting, such materials should be supplied to the City Clerk's Office no later than 9:00 A.M. on
the day of the City Council meeting. Any member of the public shall first state his or her name and address, followed by a
concise statement of the person's position on the question under discussion. Repetitive comments should be avoided; this
applies to comments made previously either to the City Council or to the Planning Commission when those Planning
Commission minutes have been provided to the City Council. All remarks shall be addressed to the Mayor or the City Council
as a whole and not to any particular member of the City Council. No person other than the City Council member and the
person having the floor shall be permitted to enter into any discussions without permission of the Mayor. No questions shall
be directed to a City Council member or city staff member except through the Mayor.
Courtesy and Respect: All members of the public, all city staff and elected officials shall accord the utmost courtesy and
respect to each other at all times. All shall refrain from rude or derogatory remarks, reflections as to integrity, abusive
comments and statements about motives or personalities. Any member of the public who violates these standards shall be
ruled out of order by the Mayor, must immediately cease speaking and shall leave the podium.
Interpreters or Telecommunications Devise for the Deaf (TDD), for hearing impaired are available for all City Council
meetings, a 72 -hour advance notice is required. For further information or to request an interpreter, please call 479-575-8330.
