If your issue is ON the agenda:  

Once the item has been introduced, wait to speak until after the topic has been discussed by the Board and a motion has been made. After the motion has been made and seconded, discussion is open to the public.  

If your issue is NOT ON the agenda:  

Wait to be recognized by the Chair during the public comment portion of the agenda. All comments and discussion must be germane to Township affairs.   General Guidlines for Addressing the Township Board

• Wait to be recognized by the Chair, which is the supervisor, to approach the podium to voice your concern.
• Speak clearly into the microphone. 
• Give you name and address after being acknowledged. If requested, please spell your last name.
• Please be courteous.
• Speak directly to the Chair. The proper procedure at a Board meeting is to address others at the table or other speakers “through the Chair”.
