The West Villages Improvement District Board of Supervisors adopted a public comment policy in 2016 that governs decorum at public meetings and workshops, particularly when addressing the Board of Supervisors. The policy definitively states:
- Community members wishing to speak must direct their comments to the Board as a whole, not a specific member of the Board or any staff member.
- No person, other than a Board or staff member, can enter into a discussion with a community member while they are speaking without the permission of the chairman or presiding officer.
- Speakers and attendees must refrain from disruptive behavior, making vulgar or threatening remarks, or launching personal attacks against the Board, staff or community members.
The WVID policy gives the chairman or presiding officer the discretion to remove attendees who disregard the rules from the meetings. In this scenario, the presiding officer may declare a recess and contact local law enforcement. If a person does not immediately leave the premise, the presiding officer may request that the person be placed under arrest.
The WVID Board of Supervisors encourages community member participation and appreciates civil feedback from attendees, allowing the District to conduct business in a respectful and professional manner.
