  3. The presiding officer may debate, move and take other action that may be taken by other members of the Board.
  4. Board members are not required to rise but must be recognized by the presiding officer before making motions and speaking. The presiding officer may waive this requirement at any time to allow for open discussion among the Board.
  5. A Board member, once recognized shall not be interrupted when speaking unless it be to call him/her to order. If a Board member, while speaking, be called to order, they shall cease speaking until the question of order be determined, and, if in order, he shall be permitted to proceed.

  4. As a courtesy to other members of the public in attendance who may wish to speak, speakers should be mindful that, in the interest of time, Privilege of the Floor is limited. Preference will be given to Village residents.
  5. Board members may, with the permission of the presiding officer, interrupt a speaker during their remarks, but only for the purpose of clarification or information.
