Public Participation

A note from the Mayor:
"The Village Board welcomes and appreciates public participation at all Village Board meetings. 
 
At the beginning of every meeting any comments that a resident wishes to make will be heard. These comments may pertain to items on the agenda or can be more general. 

All you have to do is fill out the Public Participation Form located just outside the Board Room any time prior to the meeting and hand it to the Village Clerk, Mike Graham, at the meeting. 
Thank you for staying involved in our community!"

You can find the Public Participation form here or it will be available at board meetings. There is no need to turn it in ahead of time, however, it is permissible.

Those wishing to comment should follow the following procedure:

  1. Fill out the Public Participation Form available here or at the Board Meetings.
  2. Hand the form to the Village Clerk, Janet Gray just before the meeting starts.
