Addressing the Arts Commission
Members of the public may address the Arts Commission for up to three minutes during public

your name and the topic of your remarks, or you may ask to speak at the meeting, but all
comments must be relevant to an item on the Arts Commission Agenda. The Chair or presiding

notice that the speaker’s allotted time has expired; presenting comments or material not relevant
to the item under discussion; failing to comply with the lawful instructions of the Chair or other
presiding officer; engaging in other conduct, activity or speech that delays, pursuant to 21 O.S.

of self or others.” A person may also be subject to arrest and removal from the Municipal
Building for violation of Section 30-81 of Chapter 30 of the Oklahoma City Municipal Code,

the Arts Commission on individual concerns, including on the listed exceptions, at the end of

any political issue during the Arts Commission meeting. Comments must concern Arts
Commission programs or policies. Please fill out a "Request to be Heard" form located on the
