• Members of the public may submit written public comment to the Borough Clerk via electronic mail and/or in written letter form no later than 1 p.m. on the day of the scheduled meeting. Electronic comments should be sent to adodd@leonianj.gov. The receipt of electronic mail submissions will be confirmed. Written comment in letter form should be sent to the attention of Anne Dodd, RMC, Borough Clerk/Assistant Administrator and mailed to 312 Broad Avenue, Leonia, NJ 07605.
• Submission of public comments prior to the meeting shall identify the name of the submitter and the submitter’s address and reference the meeting date for which it is being submitted. No anonymous public comment will be read at the meeting.
• Public comments submitted prior to the meeting shall be read aloud by the Mayor during the public meeting in a matter audible to all meeting participants.
• Written comments received prior to the meeting will be read after all those members of the public attending the meeting wishing to provide comment have had the opportunity to do so.
• A time limit of two (2) minutes shall apply to each of the public comments received prior to the meeting. Each written comment shall be read from the beginning, until the time limit is reached.
• If duplicative written comments are received, the name of each commenter will be noted for the record and the contents may be summarized.
• After the comments received by email or in writing prior to the meeting are read, no other public comment will be permitted.
18. The Mayor or any member of the Council may place on the agenda any matter for discussion
provided that the same is submitted to the Borough Clerk no later than 10:00 AM. on the Thursday preceding the meeting for which the agenda including that item is being prepared. The agenda and supporting documentation shall be available and sent to every member of the Governing Body by noon (or soon after) on the Friday preceding the meeting. No matter or item shall be placed on the agenda except in accordance with the above procedure, unless such a matter requires action by the Governing Body at the meeting for which that agenda is being prepared, and/or at the discretion of the Chair. Once a matter has been submitted to the clerk to be placed on the agenda in accordance with this paragraph, it shall appear on the agenda and shall not be removed except with the consent of the person who originally submitted it. Notwithstanding, the Mayor or any member of the Council may identify a matter during New Business for placement on the agenda at any meeting of the Mayor and Council, and any matter may be discussed, and action taken, if in the reasonable judgment of the Mayor (or, in the Mayor’s absence, the presiding officer), or a majority of the Governing Body, the circumstances
44
-
are such that it is in the best interest of the Borough to consider the matter without further delay.
19. The Mayor and Council shall decide if a proposed Ordinance shall be sent to the Laws and
Ordinances Committee before being placed on the agenda. No ordinance shall be introduced unless it is first discussed by the Governing Body at a Work Session unless a majority of the Governing Body agrees to the introduction of an ordinance without first discussing it at a Work Session. Every Ordinance and Resolution before it is presented to the Mayor shall be certified by the Borough Clerk.
20. Any amendments to the Rules of Order must be discussed at a prior meeting prior to the implementation of same.
21. When making appointments the Mayor should provide to the members of the Council brief background information on the individual or entity being appointed.
22. The committees of the Council shall consist of three members of the Council each and shall be as follows:
• Human Resources and Finance
• Fire
• Laws and Ordinances
• Police
• Public Works
The Mayor shall be a member, ex oficio, of all committees of the Council.
23. Notwithstanding any committee assignments or liaison appointments, the Borough Council together with the Mayor operates as a collective entity. Giving specific direction or the specific tasking of any employee or paid professional is the prerogative of the Governing Body as a whole. It is also recognized that the notion of a chain of command is important for the effective and harmonious undertaking of all operations and activity. The Mayor and Council shall therefore convey direction of specific tasks that are to be undertaken by a Department or a single employee, through the Borough Administrator, or in his/her absence, through those duly selected by the Mayor and Council at the annual Reorganization meeting to act in such capacity on such occasion except as otherwise provided by the State Statue or Municipal Ordinance.
24. As an extension of Paragraph 21, the same premise of collective authority apples to the
conveyance of direction or assigning specific tasks to the Borough Administrator.
25. In recognizing the importance of principles such as chain of command and collective authority as described in Paragraphs 22 and 23, it is also hereby noted that reason, individual or collective, must apply in various circumstances. Requests by members of the Governing Body for common information such as that which would be available to the average citizen are responsible and not intended to be discouraged, nor should such simple requests have to be funneled through the Borough Administrator if he/she is not the primary respondent. The same spirit of reason should prevail conversely, however, if the number of the requests, or the frequency thereof become burdensome and intrusive upon the employee’s specific and properly delegated duties, or if
45
-
such requests result in a direct cost to the Borough as a result of time spent by a paid professional.
26. Except as otherwise provided in these rules, Robert’s Rules of Order shall govern the deliberation of the Mayor and Council.
27. The requirements and procedures for making public comment and standards of conduct when making public comment during a remote public meeting are as follows:
• All members of the public will be afforded an opportunity to make public comment during each public meeting.
• Members of the public may make public comment on any matter during the public comment portion of the meeting as designated on the meeting agenda.
• All members of the public will remain muted until the time set for public comment.
• Members will be instructed at the beginning of the public meeting on how and when to signal their desire to provide public comment via the GoToMeeting technology. Public comment through the Chat feature in GoToMeeting will not be permitted.
• Once a member of the public wishing to speak during the public comment portion of the meeting has been identified, the member of the public will be unmuted.
• The member of the public offering comment will be instructed to state his or her name and address for the record.
• Public comment will be limited to 2 minutes per speaker.
• At the conclusion of the speaker’s public comment, he or she shall again be muted.
• There will be no cross dialogue during the public comment portion of the meeting.
• After everyone from the public wishing to speak has been heard, the Mayor and/or Council member may address any comments made or questions raised by any member of the public without cross dialogue.
• All members of the public providing comment during the public comment portion of the meeting shall act in a civil manner. Disruptive behavior including but not limited to shouting, interruption and use of profanity will not be tolerated. If a member of the public is disruptive, the Mayor shall issue a warning. If the member of the public continues to be disruptive, at the direction of the Mayor, the speaker will be muted and his or her comments shall be deemed concluded. If time permits, the disruptive speaker shall be allowed to continue to speak and utilize the remainder of his or her unused two (2) minutes after all other members of the public have been given the opportunity to make comment. Should the speaker remain disruptive, the speaker may be muted and kept on mute for the remainder of the public meeting.
