GENERAL INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS
In addition to items listed as "Public Hearings", the Mayor will ask for comments from the public, usually requesting that anyone desiring to speak on an item, raise their hand. To insure that sufficient time is allocated for each item, unless extended by the City Council, representatives of the applicant/petitioners will have ten (10) minutes for presentation, and five (5) minutes for rebuttal. In addition three (3) minutes will be scheduled for others to provide additional comments. When recognized by the Mayor, please approach the podium and speak into the microphone, stating your name, address, if you are a citizen that lives in the Brooksville City limits, and then present the information you desire. A special time period called Citizen Input is also scheduled following the Presentations and Regular Agenda items for those desiring to address the City Council.
Items listed in the "Consent Agenda" will be approved by Council in their entirety by a single motion, indicated by the (√) symbol, unless otherwise indicated by Council. Other agenda items are considered individually.
Consideration of the item identified on this agenda with an asterisk (**) is a quasi-judicial function of the Council involving land use, and the following procedures apply:
- Disclosure of any ex parte communications by Council members.
- Consideration of applications to intervene as a party, if any. “Request to Intervene/Expert Witness” forms and instructions may be obtained from the recording secretary prior to the scheduled time for consideration of the item.
- Qualification of sworn witnesses who wish to testify as an expert, based on statement of credentials made orally or set forth in application file.
- Swearing of witnesses who wish to give sworn testimony.
- Testimony of City staff witnesses, with cross-examination by applicant and party-interveners, if they request.
- Testimony of applicant and applicant’s witnesses, with cross-examination by Council and party-interveners, if they request.
- Testimony of party-interveners and their witnesses, with cross-examination by Council and applicant, if they request.
- Testimony by members of the public who wish to address application. Any individual, not requesting/designated as an intervening party or expert witness may, upon being recognized by the Mayor, present information to the Council, and may be questioned by the Council but is not required to be subject to cross-examination, and need not be sworn in.
- Close of public hearing.
- Council deliberation/vote.
Items identified with a double asterisk (**) are quasi-judicial functions of the City Council other than land use; the Council Members disclose any ex parté communications.
In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, persons with disabilities needing a special accommodation to participate in this proceeding should contact the City Clerk’s office at 352-540-3816 no later than 48 hours in advance of the meeting at (352) 540-3810.

Any person desiring to appeal any decision with respect to any matter considered at this meeting, may need a record of the proceedings including the testimony and evidence upon which the appeal is to be based, and therefore must make arrangements for a court reporter to ensure that an admissible verbatim record of the proceedings is made.
