Kramer City Council
Position Statement

City council meetings are essential for discussing and addressing local issues that affect the community. During these meetings, council members review reports, propose new regulations, and make decisions that impact the community.  Effective meetings are crucial for transparency and ensuring that all critical issues are addressed.  While the Kramer City Council has an open the door to attendance of the community, those individuals present must be respectful and maintain order. The monthly city council meeting is not a forum for public discussion until the council opens the floor for public discussion.  Disruption or rude behavior, and alcohol is not permitted. The meeting Agenda is posted in the city post office so the citizens of Kramer will know in advance what is going to be discussed.  To continually disrupt the council, deliberately attempt stop or stall the council from attending to the agenda, or to block or prevent one person from performing their duties is against all decent protocol and can result in the expulsion of the individual.  In closure, the Kramer City Council will offer an Open Public Session after the objectives of the agenda have been achieved or moved forward.  The Open Public Session will serve as the time where citizens can address the council in a calm, well-mannered, public engagement.  Again, the Open Public Session is not a forum for disruption or rude behavior.  In the future cursing and/or threatening language will result in the council asking the individual to leave the meeting. Under no circumstance is alcohol permitted, and participants that arrive inebriated, will be asked to leave.
