Public Comments Policy
Open Door Policy
The Town of Kennard operates under an Open Door Policy, encouraging transparency and public participation. A public comment section is included on each month's agenda, where any member of the public may address the Board.
Submitting Public Comments
While anyone is welcome to speak during the public comment period, the Town Board encourages citizens to contact the Clerk's office at least 72 hours before a meeting to ensure their comments can be properly included on the agenda. This advance notice allows the Board time to review and consider the matter thoroughly, which supports more informed and productive discussions. However, comments can still be made during the meeting if submitted later, and all members of the public are encouraged to participate.
Urgent or Unforeseen Matters
In cases of urgent or unforeseen matters that arise after the 72-hour deadline, these may be addressed at the Board's discretion during the meeting or scheduled for a future agenda. The public is encouraged to attend and participate in the meeting, as all concerns raised will be noted for follow-up as needed.
Compliance with State Law
This policy complies with Indiana's Open Door Law (IC 5-14-1.5), ensuring that all meetings are open to public observation. The Town Board encourages public participation while maintaining an orderly process for discussion.
