Any item that is listed on the City Council agenda as a public hearing provides citizens an opportunity to speak either for or against the item under consideration.  A period reserved for comments from the public will be included as an item of business on the agenda as Public Comment Period for each regular City Council meeting and each joint meeting of City Council and the Greenville Utilities Commission.

If a person wishes to speak during the Public Comment Period regarding a topic that is not on the agenda or is not a public hearing item, he/she may register with the City Clerk prior to the opening of the meeting by writing his/her name, address, and a short description of his/her topic. The sign-up sheet will be located on a podium at the entrance to the Council Chambers.

The Public Comment Period shall not exceed a total of thirty minutes, unless the City Council, by a majority vote, extends this limit.  Speakers will be limited to three minutes, unless the City  Council, by a majority vote, extends this limit. For additional information, contact the City Clerk's Office at (252) 329-4422.
