Guidelines for citizens speaking at public hearings

Members of the Vienna community, its elected officials, and Town staff place a high value on constructive and thoughtful debate on public issues. To this end, all who participate in meetings and public hearings in Town Council Chambers, including public officials, board and commission members, staff, and members of the community, are expected to observe the following guidelines:ยท

  • Citizens who wish to speak during a public hearing are encouraged to sign up in advance; sign-up sheets will be available in Council Chambers.
  • The mayor or chair will recognize an individual when it is their turn to speak.
  • Citizens are asked to state their name and home address for the record clearly.
  • To ensure that there is sufficient time for all citizens to be heard, speakers are allowed three minutes per public hearing; a timer is utilized.
  • Citizens should be respectful of others, demonstrate integrity in their comments and actions, and be clear and concise.
  • The use of profane, vulgar, obscene, or threatening speech is not permitted and may result in removal from the meeting.

For accommodations in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, contact the Town Clerk's office at 703-255-6304 prior to the meeting.
