PUBLIC APPEARANCES BEFORE THE CITY COMMISSION: The City of Fort Lauderdale is hosting Commission Meetings in both a virtual and in-person format. Due to COVID-19, Commission Chambers seating capacity has been reduced; therefore, we are encouraging members of the public to participate virtually when possible. If any person wishes to address the City Commission virtually or in-person, the person shall sign up using the online Speaker Card prior to the meeting or sign up in the City Hall lobby using the City Clerk's iPad. Speaker Cards are given to the Mayor. After being recognized by the Mayor, the speaker should identify the agenda item in question, indicate support, opposition, or neutrality on the agenda item, and then proceed to succinctly state the speaker's position or present information. If an attorney, or any other person appears before the Commission virtually or in-person in a representative capacity, the attorney, or other representative shall also sign up using the online Speaker Card prior to the meeting or sign up in the City Hall lobby using the City Clerk's iPad. After being recognized by the Mayor, the speaker should identify the client(s) being represented, and identify the agenda item in question. The speaker shall then indicate the client's support, opposition, or neutrality on the agenda item and then proceed to succinctly state the client's position or present information on behalf of the client(s).
