“Open Time for the Public”
The Select Board reserves a portion of its meetings for public comment and encourages participation as follows:
•	Open time is a time when town residents can bring matters before the Select Board that require a minimum of discussion and are not on the agenda.
•	Please try to keep your comments short and to the point. Plan on being allowed up to five minutes per person, not per topic, to speak at any meeting under open time, only.
•	If it appears that the topic(s) being discussed will consume longer than the five minutes allocated then, at the discretion of the Chair, the matter will be placed on an upcoming Select Board meeting agenda.
•	If you believe that your topic will require more time or desire to make a more formal presentation than is allowed under these guidelines, please contact the Town Administrator to ask to be put on a future agenda so that we can properly allocate enough time.
•	You are free to ask questions or to make your point for all to consider. However, engaging in active debate with the Select Board or audience members will not be allowed. All comments and questions must be directed to the Chair of the Board.
•	All remarks must be respectful and courteous, free of name-calling and personal attacks. Inappropriate language will not be tolerated.

Read any letters or comments received.

Executive Sessions
•	None
