Have you ever thought to yourself, "I'd like to tell the Murfreesboro City Council about an idea I had, but I am nervous about standing up in front of everyone - I don't know what to do?" Well if you have, then this news story is for you.

If you would like to address the Murfreesboro City Council or any Murfreesboro board or commission during a public hearing, there are several simple suggestions to follow that will make it easier for everyone, according to the City of Murfreesboro:

  • Speaking only after you have approached the microphone at the podium, clearly stating your name and address, and identifying any party or group you represent at the beginning of your remarks.

  • Speaking only once, unless you have asked a question and the answer has interrupted your discussion.

  • Speaking only for three minutes, unless you represent a group; if you represent a group, you may speak for five minutes. You should identify the group and ask members present to raise their hand.

  • When possible, avoid repeating in detail the same comments already made by other speakers.

  • Leaving any exhibits, photographs, petitions, handouts, etc. with the planning department to include in the file.

  • Leaving the meeting room quietly after the matter in which you are interested has been concluded

The Murfreesboro City Council will meet on Thursday night at 7. The meeting is open to everyone and will be in the City Hall located next to the Linebaugh Library at S. Church and Vine Streets.
