Re: Rules of Decorum
______________________________________________________________________
In September the City Council adopted rules of decorum for meetings of the City
Council, Planning Commission, Parks and Trails Commission, and Charter
Commission. Staff will provide an overview of the rules at the Parks and Trails
Commission meeting. The rules of decorum formalize what is already taking place at
meetings so no significant impacts are anticipated.

1.Rules of Decorum
A Hidden Gem Waiting To Be Discovered
www.ci.corcoran.mn.us
Rules of Decorum for meetings of the City Council, Planning Commission, Parks and Trails
Commission, and Charter Commission
The City of Corcoran wishes to give everyone an opportunity to be heard on matters before the City
while protecting its ability to carry out the business of the City. In order to provide that opportunity,
attendees are permitted to speak at Open Forum, or at an agenda item provided the following rules
are followed:
General Rules
Persons not recognized by the Mayor or Chairperson should refrain from commenting, interrupting a
speaker at the podium, conducting conversations with other members of the audience, or creating
any other type of disruption that might distract a member of the Council, Commissioner, city staffer, or
a speaker at the podium.
All persons wishing to address the Council or Commission shall approach the podium when
recognized by the Mayor or Chairperson and clearly state their name, address, and subject being
addressed. Proper decorum is expected at all times and speakers are asked to treat everyone with
respect.
Should a member or members of the audience be identified as disorderly, the Mayor or Chairperson
has the right to declare the meeting temporarily recessed and call for the removal of said person(s)
from the premises. The City Council or Commission may by vote reinstate an individual who has been
removed.
Council and Commission members must accord courtesy to each other, to city employees and to the
public appearing before the City and must refrain at all times from rude and derogatory remarks,
reflections as to integrity, abusive comments and statements as to motives and persona lities.
The same rules of conduct noted in this policy shall also apply to members of the audience wishing to
address the Council or Commission during any scheduled public hearing.
Open Forum
“Open Forum” provides an opportunity to be heard and is not an opportunity to debate an issue. The
Council or Commission does not typically act on items brought up under “Open Forum” so they may
allow time to thoroughly research the respective matter(s) and provide a measured and fair response.
Matters raised may be referred to staff and a response, if necessary, will be provided to the speaker.
8b1 .
A Hidden Gem Waiting To Be Discovered
www.ci.corcoran.mn.us
If a matter will need to be brought back to the Council or Commission at a future meeting, staff will
notify the speaker at such time that a meeting date has been determined.
Generally, a time period of no more than 20 minutes is reserved for public comment, with each
speaker receiving a five-minute time limit. Each speaker should observe this timeframe and plan their
remarks accordingly.
Speakers shall address all statements and questions to the Mayor or Chairperson who may, in turn,
refer any questions or research requests to staff. Speakers should strive to provide only factual
information and refrain from repeating comments made by other speakers.
Agenda Items
Citizens may request permission to speak on agenda items by completing a public comment card
found on a cart or table at the entrance of the Council Chambers and handing it to City staff, the
Mayor, or Council. Citizens are invited to offer comments up to 5 minutes in length, not including time
for answering questions by the Council or Commission. Upon request, the Mayor may extend the time
of any speaker subject to the consent of the Council or Commission.
If numerous requests to speak on an agenda item are received, the Mayor or Chairperson will inform
the Council or Commission of the number of requests. The Mayor or Chairperson, or any member of
the Council or Commission may propose a total length of time for public comment on the item, which
must be approved by the majority of Council or Commission members to be effective. The Mayor or
Chairperson will use the gavel to indicate when the time for public comment is in order.
The Council and Commissions expect that applicants and petitioners, or their representatives, can
make presentations to the Council or Commission within 15 minutes, not including time for answering
questions. Upon request, the Mayor or Chairperson may extend the time subject to the consent of the
Council or Commission. Submission of written material in advance is strongly encouraged and
expected. The Council and Commissions request that previously submitted written material not be
read in its entirety.
Public Hearings
Public hearings will be conducted as required by state laws and regulations, the City Charter, the City
Code, and these procedures where they are not in conflict with them. Public hearings on development
issues are held by the Planning Commission. The City Council does not conduct another public
hearing but welcomes public comment, especially if new information is available.

Also, there are several projects that have been approved, but are still not filed and closed out:
1.Corcoran Business Park (City file 06-005). The City Council granted a one-year extension to the

development plan. Peachtree Partners did not buy the property, but a different developer could still
proceed with the approved plan. On December 9, 2016, the applicant submitted a written request to
extend the approvals for an additional year. Staff recommended that this request be reviewed by the
City Council, but adequate time was not provided to place this on a Council agenda prior to expiration.

could be considered at the February 23, 2017 Council meeting. At that meeting, the City Council
