1. any individual who wants to speak must contact the Council Clerk before 4:30 P. M. one business day before the scheduled meeting by calling 740-695-1324;
2. at the time of the request, the individual must provide a written summary of the issue or issues on which they wish to address City Council;

4. if multiple individuals wish to speak on the same issue, only one spokesperson may be heard; and
5. the individual is permitted five (5) minutes to present his or her issue(s) unless Council permits additional time.
