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. When the Mayor or Chair recognizes you, please

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 a Council Member 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:
Overview Period: Agenda items at a City Council meeting 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 a Council Member later to answer questions. City staff, Council Members and
applicants may use electronic visual aids in the City Council meeting as part of the presentation of the agenda
item. City staff s presentation and an Applicant's presentation whether presented by one or more than one
presenter shall each be limited to a maximum of ten (10) minutes unless the City Council by unanimous consent
or majority vote allows additional time.
Public Comments: Public comment at a City Council meeting shall be allowed for all members of the audience
who have signed up prior to the beginning of the agenda item they wish to address being opened for public
comment. Speakers shall be limited to a maximum of five (5) minutes to be broken into segments of three and
two minutes. Amendments may receive public comments only if approved by the City Council by unanimous
consent or majority vote. If public comment is allowed for an amendment, speakers will only be allowed to
speak for three (3) minutes. The City Council may allow both a speaker additional time and an unsigned -up
person to speak by unanimous consent or majority vote.
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
