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 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 4 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.
COMMENTS ON CONSENT ITEMS: Citizen comments are limited to issues and concerns on the
Consent Agenda item(s). Please complete a public participation slip and indicate in the subject line the
issue you wish to address. Members of the City Commission shall not enter into discussion or respond
to individuals' comments during the public forum other than to give directions or to ask for clarification.
Please be courteous and respectful of the views of others. Personal attacks on Commission
members, City staff or members of the public are not allowed and will be ruled out of order by the
Mayor.
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.
