1. Recognize individuals that are taxpayers or residents of West Norriton Township wishing to offer comment.
2. Require the name and address of such persons wishing to comment.
3. Permit each individual at minimum one (1) opportunity to speak.  The President may require an individual who has already spoken to wait until all others wishing to speak have had the opportunity before permitting an additional opportunity to speak.  Once all others have had the opportunity to speak, the President shall determine whether time would allow for additional comment from the individual wishing to speak.  Such a determination shall be based solely on the factor of time and shall not be based on the content or viewpoint of the particular individual(s) seeking additional opportunity to speak.
4. Provide for a five (5) minute maximum for each individual to offer public comment.  There shall be no ceding or assigning of time.  In no case shall a time limit of fewer than two (2) minutes be designated.  It may be requested that a spokesperson from a group address the Board of Commissioners.
5. Preserve order by prohibiting disruptive conduct including, but not limited to, speaking by any person who is not, at that time, taking part in public comment.

This resolution establishes clear, written rules of decorum and procedures for public participation at meetings and hearings of the West Norriton Township Board of Commissioners. Its purpose is to balance the public’s right to free expression and meaningful participation with the Township’s responsibility to conduct orderly, efficient, and productive meetings. The resolution outlines expectations for meeting conduct, agenda requests, public comment procedures, time limits, and the authority of the presiding officer, all of which are to be enforced in a content-neutral and viewpoint-neutral manner. It also revokes any prior inconsistent resolutions to ensure a single, consistent framework governing public meetings.
