Public Participation
 
Village Board meetings are meetings that afford the public the opportunity to present matters of Village business to the Village Board.  However, due to Village Board meetings being business meetings, the following rules have been established for public participation:

  • The Village generally limits the amount of time each member of the public speaks to 3 minutes.  
  • Please present your name.
  • When addressing the Village Board members and officials, please be respectful.

  • More rules about public participation can be found in Sections 1-6-7 and 8 of the Heyworth Village Code.
