Appearances before County Council
The Council encourages citizen participation and provides opportunities for citizens to present their concerns at the beginning of each regular meeting. Citizens may sign up before the meeting to make a two-minute presentation during Citizens' Comments or submit a written request for a scheduled Personal Appearance (up to ten minutes). The request for a Personal Appearance should specifically identify the subject to be addressed and the name and address of the person appearing and submit to the Clerk to Council at 1 Public Square, Room 210, Darlington, SC 29532, or email to jbishop@darcosc.net.
Comments must be in the form of suggestions or information pertaining to programs or activities of county government. Comments should not be made, either complimentary or critical, naming any citizen, board or commission member, employee, or council member.
Speakers' comments will be received only as information. If a member of council wishes to have a discussion of a topic initiated during citizen comments, a member can make a motion to have the topic scheduled for council discussion and possible action at a subsequent meeting.
