flag Chautauqua County keeps open public comment at meetings, rejecting limits on topics.

flag The Chautauqua County Legislature will keep its current public comment policy, maintaining two opportunities for residents to speak at meetings without topic restrictions. flag The Administrative Services Committee unanimously postponed a proposal to limit comments to only issues within the legislature’s authority, effectively ending it. flag Chairman Pierre Chagnon cited concerns over free speech and public engagement, while other legislators supported open comments as essential to transparency and democratic accountability. flag Under existing rules, the public may speak for three minutes on agenda items at the start of meetings and five minutes on any topic at the end. flag The decision preserves broad access to public input during legislative sessions.
