wishes to attend. The City is not permitted to provide the use of human physical
assistance to physically handicapped persons in lieu of the construction or use of
ramps or other mechanical devices in order to comply with Florida law. If proper
accommodations for handicapped access cannot be made at a particular public

City Manager shall change the venue of that meeting to a location where those
accommodations can be provided.
DECORUM POLICY: The City of Deltona has a significant interest in conducting orderly and efficient
public meetings, which includes preventing disruption, promoting civility, and preserving decorum. To
that end, behavior which disrupts or impedes the efficient and orderly conduct of any public meeting, as
determined by the Mayor, or presiding officer, or a majority of the City Commission, is not permitted.
The Mayor, or presiding officer, or a majority of the City Commission, may interrupt, warn, or terminate
a speaker’s statement when that statement is too lengthy, personally directed, abusive, obscene,
irrelevant, or otherwise reasonably perceived to be a disruption to the fair and orderly progress of the
discussion at hand. The Mayor, or presiding officer, or a majority of the City Commission, may also
interrupt any part of the meeting to warn any individual that they are being disruptive or otherwise
impeding the efficient and orderly conduct of the meeting. The Mayor, or presiding officer, or a majority
of the City Commission, may require any individual to leave a public meeting for its duration if that
individual is unable to observe this Policy after being warned. Should an individual be required to leave a
meeting for violating this Policy, that person shall be escorted from Commission Chambers by a
Volusia Sheriff’s Deputy.
PUBLIC FORUM: Public Forum will begin at 6:00 PM at the start of each regular meeting and will
conclude after 30 minutes. Comments during Public Forum are limited to items of City business that
are listed on the Agenda and/or items that are not listed on the Agenda. Comments regarding listed
Agenda items will take place after discussion of each item. Please be courteous and respectful of the
views of others. In order to address the Commission, citizens must fill out a public participation slip and
give it to the Deputy City Clerk. All citizen comments are limited to 3 minutes and shall be addressed to
the Mayor or the Commission as a whole. Members of the City Commission shall not enter into
discussion or respond to a citizen’s comments other than to give directions or to ask for clarification.
However, individual Commissioners may choose to respond under the "City Commissioner
Comments" portion of the meeting.
CONSENT AGENDA: The Consent Agenda contains items that have been determined to be routine
and non-controversial. If discussion is desired by any member of the City Commission, that item must
be removed from the Consent Agenda and considered separately. All other matters included under the
Consent Agenda will be approved by one motion. Citizens with concerns should address those
concerns by filling out a public participation slip and giving it to the Deputy City Clerk prior to Consent
Agenda items being pulled.
