Tolland Council 'Standing' Order Being Revisited

TOLLAND, CT — A rule that requires those who comment at Tolland Town Council meetings to stand is being revisited next week.

Under the "personal conduct" category of the council's procedural rules it states:

When recognized by the Chairperson, the elector shall stand, and give his/her name and address. Electors may speak for up to two minutes ...

The standing portion of the rule is scheduled to be reviewed and, if enough council members agree, the standing requirement will be dropped.

The council is slated to meet Tuesday at 7 p.m.

The procedural change proposal is the fourth item under new business.
