Surfside officials consider ordinance to regulate citizen presentations

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:38:39 GMT

In a late-night session, Surfside officials deliberated amendments to one of the town’s ordinances. The proposed ordinance, with a 3-2 vote in favor, sparked intense debate among residents and leaders.The ordinance aims to regulate meeting times by stipulating that any citizen may make one citizen’s presentation per calendar year. For additional presentations by the same individual within the same calendar year, sponsorship and approval by three or more members of the town commission at a regular meeting would be required.Opponents of the ordinance argue that it infringes on constitutional rights, labeling it as a suppression of democracy and residents’ right to speak.“This isn’t a regulation. This is suppression of democracy and a resident’s right to speak,” one resident passionately stated.Conversely, supporters contend that it will prevent unnecessary presentations aimed at targeting commissioners and instead encourage the sharing of valu...
