Hello Town of Severance!
I want to take a moment to invite and encourage you to be involved in your local government. Our Town Council meetings are open to the public, and we welcome your participation!
Our meetings are run following Roberts’ Rules, and we allow time for public comment as well as council comment. Public comment is set up for any individual to speak for 3 minutes about any topic on their mind. After attendees have spoken, the mayor will close public comments and open council comments. Any council member can speak about any topic that is on their mind, including responding to any public comments just made, but the council is not required to respond to public comments.
Unfortunately, in the past we have had citizens treat the public comment and the council comment as an open discussion. As recently stated by the mayor, council meetings are not the proper venue for public discourse. It was explained that all the council members and the town management are open to discussing any topic via email, phone or in-person meetings The council follows the same format for every meeting. We do hear all issues, and we strive to have discussions regarding such issues and will work with town management on how to address them.
The Town of Severance does host two Town Hall Meetings each year which allows for open discussion and question/answer opportunities. We encourage the public’s participation in both settings, and we encourage as much participation as possible. We also encourage one-on-one discussions as well Severance belongs to all of us, and we want it to be a great place for all of us.
Sincerely
Tad Borrett Council Member
