City Council Meetings
City Council meetings are held on the 2nd and 4th Monday of every month
at 7:30 p.m. held at Shawnee City Hall, 11110 Johnson Drive, Shawnee,
Kansas.
The City Council meeting begins with the Pledge of Allegiance followed
by a Moment of Silence. There is a fixed agenda for the Council meeting.
You may speak on any item after the Mayor’s request for questions from the
audience. To allow the meeting to move smoothly, the Mayor requests that
you observe the following courtesies should you wish to participate.
-
When addressing the
Governing Body, please speak from the podium using the microphone. This
will ensure that all public remarks are properly recorded. No more
than one speaker should be at the podium at one time.
-
Please state
your name and address the first time you
begin speaking at any session, and repeat your name each time you return
to the podium during the same meeting.
-
All comments should
be directed to the Mayor.
-
Business from
the Floor is intended for residents to
discuss matters that directly involve City government business, but do
not appear on the agenda. This item usually follows Council Items
on the agenda.
-
Please keep your
comments brief. Comments should be tailored so as not to exceed five
(5) minutes. In the event of extensive audience participation, the
Mayor may further limit speaking time to ensure that everyone has an
opportunity to address the meeting.
-
Please do not
clap or poll the audience (by the show of hands) during the discussion of
an issue.
-
If you have
printed materials to present to the Governing Body, please give them to
the Recording Secretary, who will see that they are distributed to the
members. Additional copies should also
be provided to the media, who are allowed access by State law to receive a
copy of any materials presented to the Governing Body.
The Governing Body welcomes your comments
and appreciates your cooperation.
