Sign-up is done in person, prior to the start of the meeting. The completed Comment Form is then given to the City Secretary. Sign-ups will not be accepted after the meeting starts. Once the Mayor/Chair recognizes you, please step up to the podium and clearly state your name and address or affiliation (i.e. Name, Helotes resident, and state your address or Name, Helotes business owner, and state business address). Each speaker has 3 minutes to speak and may only speak once. A speaker may not share/pool time or transfer time to another speaker. No shouting or cursing is allowed. Please remember, the City Council/Board can not discuss/take action on issues brought up during Citizens to be Heard – This is a period to accept comments only.
• PUBLIC HEARINGS – A Public Hearing allows any citizen or visitor to provide feedback on specific items listed under the Public Hearing portion of the meeting Agenda. Individuals wanting to speak at a Public Hearing may do so by signing up. Sign-up is done in person, prior to the start of the meeting. The completed Comment Form is then given to the City Secretary and/or Chair. Sign-ups will not be accepted after the meeting starts. Once the Mayor/Chair recognizes you, please step up to the podium and clearly state your name and address. Comments should be concise and present the City Council/Board with information not substantially addressed by previous testimony. Each speaker has 3 minutes and may only speak once. A speaker may not share/pool time or transfer time to another speaker. No shouting or cursing is allowed.  The City Council/Board may ask/answer questions of the speaker, but may not deliberate or argue with the public on the matter at hand.
