Public Address of the Hope Mills Board of Commissioners (Public Comments)

Public address of the Board of Commissioners is welcomed, encouraged and provided for at the beginning of each agenda, however, many citizen concerns do not require official board action. To most effectively address the Board of Commissioners when a concern or issue requires actual Board consideration or action, citizens should request in writing to be placed on the agenda. Any information or documents supporting a concern or issue should also be provided to the Town Clerk to be included in the Commissioner’s information packets prior to the scheduled meeting of the Board.

Town of Hope Mills Board of Commissioners Request to be placed on Agenda

General Information:

The Hope Mills Board of Commissioners meets at 7:00 pm the first and third Monday of every month. Prior to each meeting, Commissioners receive an information packet of supporting documents for items of business that are scheduled for discussion and require the Board’s action. In the days before the meeting, Commissioners may then review all pertinent information and be better prepared to make a decision on Monday evening. In order to prepare the agenda packet, the administrative staff needs all information at least 11 days prior to a Board meeting. This gives the Town staff a full work week to devote to your request before the night of the meeting.

In Some Cases:

In some cases, concerns can and should be addressed quickly and efficiently on the staff level, eliminating the delay in waiting for a Board meeting to take place.

If your request to address the Board is of a topic not requiring Board consideration, it will not be placed on the agenda. Instead, these requests will be addressed by those charged with the area of concern, such as Town staff, another governmental unit, etc.

If your request to address the Board is of a topic requiring Board consideration, it will be promoted through the channels and so placed on the agenda. Please note that request topics involving ordinance changes, new legislation or funding may require more time to allow adequate time for staff preparation or required advertising, all according to the circumstances.

All requests to the Board of Commissioners and the Town staff will receive appropriate and prompt attention. You may state any topic of concern by contacting us by using the form provided.
