We wish this to be an open discussion inspired by the interests of all of the
people of our wonderful community. Stop by to visit with your elected

Out of courtesy for all who wish to speak, each speaker should limit their presentation to
three (3) minutes. If time permits, and after all attendees who wish to address the City
Council have done so, the City Council may invite rebuttals or engage in additional
discussions with the attendees.
Most items are eligible for discussion, however, due to the public hearing regulations
associated with land use applications, discussion/testimony of any pending application
before the City must be reserved for the date of the officially scheduled public hearing
noticed for City Council or the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Each speaker is to be treated with the utmost respect, courtesy and afforded the right to
speak without interruption. The intent of our town hall meeting is to create a friendly
community spirited forum where by the Eagle community may express their views openly

hope everyone will feel welcome to participate.
