Board Of Aldermen - Agenda - 9/14/2021 - P54

The point of public hearings, set by state statute, is to hear from the public, not hear from
aldermen, and to give the subject of the Public Hearing adequate reflection by the public before
the aldermen commence debate and vote in their board and committees.

I expect the President of the Board of Aldermen and the Chairman of the Budget Review Committee
to admonish its members to adhere to the intent of the Public Hearings and follow the procedures set

forth in NRO 5-28.
Sued §. Seebaam

Fred S. Teeboom
Former alderman-at-large
