All written comments received by the deadline will be distributed to the mayor, city council members and appropriate staff prior to the start of the meeting. Florida’s Sunshine Laws require all comments submitted be entered into the public record.

In-person

The City will accommodate all guests who wish to make public comments, subject to seating/space limitations.
Public comments are limited to three (3) minutes. Additional time may be granted by City Council President.
Seating may be limited based on fire code regulations and current social distancing recommendations.
Seating and standing room are available on a first come, first served basis until safe capacity is reached.
Guests who wish to make public comment but are unable to enter the building once capacity is reached, will be allowed inside and in council chambers to speak once other guests have exited the building. City staff are assigned to the first and second floors to continually monitor the number of guests present and communicate when space frees up for additional guests to enter.
Guests will enter City Hall though a security check point to ensure all have a safe experience.
Any person requiring special accommodations should contact the City Manager’s Office at 352-629-8401 at least 48 hours in advance so arrangements can be made.
