II Furl I i il.ili- Nrwo. Tiii'Milat 2'K 197" 3H The Public Gets Its Say At Local Meetings, Ground Rules Differ On Speaking Out VVistedt said, The commission welcomes citizen par- ticipation." Non-agenda speakers in Davie must wait for month which has a fifth Wednesday. On that day the Town Council holds an open forum to hear views on anything. The Miramar City Council forbids public comment on any non-agenda item. In Boca Raton residents have a public comment slot, early on the agenda.

Topics of discussion must be approved prior to the meeting. The School Board has in the past opened its meeting to public discussion at 9:15 p.m. or at the conclusion of, regular business, whichever comes first. "Anyone speak," explained Virginia Booher, clerk of the board. At a recent session citizens got up and commented taking up more than three hours.

The board's policy is likely to change, however. Bstella Moriarty, the board's new chairman, said she plans to limit public statements from 9:15 p.m. to 9:45 p.m., with each delegation limited to a five-minute presentation. Then, if somebody else wants to speak, lie or she will have to wait until the board finishes agenda items. Mrs.

Moriarty has authority as board chairman to set the rules regarding when the public is heard but said wants to get input from other board members before making the changes. The County Commission has no rules or regulations concerning public participation. The county charter! gives the commission power to enact such rules, but it hasn't. Commissioner Jack Moss has proposed such rules, but they have yet to be adopted. Commissioner J.W.

Stevens said he is against rules and regulations on -t public participation because without them the com', mission gets greater citizen input. Currently any item on the agenda is fair game for the public. By Pat Faherty Staff Writer In Sunrise you can speak your piece at a City Council meeting just about anytime you feel like it. And you generally get to talk about as 'ng as you want to. In Deerfield Beach and Margate, they not only put you off until last (which may be the wee hours of the morning), they also limit you to three minutes.

In Fort Lauderdale you can't talk at all unless you get on the agenda in advance. The amount of public participation accepted at local government meetings varies widely from place to place in Broward. The times and topics also span a broad spectrum. Ground rules set by some governmental boards stimulate citizen discussion on all items of business at a meeting, while others relegate public imput to a permanent time slot. Municipal governments, the County Commission and the School Board follow preset agendas at their regular meetings to speed an orderly flow of business.

At the School Board and at least 10 Broward cities, public participation is a regular agenda item. Coming under such titles as citizen comments, public to be heard, open discussion or delegations, these segments of the meetings are thrown open to the floor for orderly public participation. Some communities such as Plantation and Pembroke Pines encourage the art of oratory and place no restraints on public imput. Speakers however, must weather the entire agendas before getting their turn at the mike. In some cases that means hanging on into the wee hours of the morning after a lengthy night meeting only to address an empty room and a weary commission.

Dania recently bumped citizen comments from the Staff Illustration by TOM ALSTON many City Council meetings never get beyond the open discussion stage. In Lauderhill and Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, the public can comment only during public hearings directed at agenda items. Fort Lauderdale Assistant City Manager -s Hill said, "Persons wishing to speak must make a formal written request through the city manager's office. We encourage them to write to the city manager or commissioners." Hollywood uses a similar procedure. Pompano Beach, which meets in the daytime, pauses at 11:30 a.m.

during commission meetings for an "audience to be heard" session. Anyone can speak on anything for ifp to four minutes. Mayor Betty beginning to the end of the agenda. Mayor John Bertino has stressed that the commission welcomes public imput but too much has forced it in to marpthon meetings. In Lauderdale Lakes, citizens get two chances and plenty of time.

There is public discussion at the beginning of the meeting and again at the end for those who may have been inspired to speak by the evenings's proceedings. There is a 30-minute time limit. Lauderdale Lakes Mayor Howard Craft views the system as "perfect." He said, "If you come to talk, you're assured of being heard." Resident Milton Scheingarten agreed, saying, "It gives me a chance to speak out." So great is the public participation in Sunrise that FAA Lifts Shawnee's Air License Staff Photo By GINNY SOLTIIWOKTH Yuleticle Gift? Moratorium Suggested In Margate Margate officials may try to place a moratorium on further construction at the Holiday Springs Shopping Center because the developer allegedly damaged Holiday Springs Boulevard during construction and has refused to make repairs. City Commissioner" George Liederman said yesterday that he suggested the building ban on the 60-store complex at Holiday Springs Boulevard and West Sample Road. "Holiday Springs Boulevard was a beautiful street," he said.

"'But the developer tore up the median strip to make curb cuts, and the shrubs and trees are all dying. He left it a mess." A moratorium, Liederman said, would guarantee that the developer repair the damage before completing the shopping center and departing. Many stores already are open for business and the center is nearly finished. In response to Liederman's accusation, the developer, Michael said the city is at fault. Lyons said there was no way to water the sod, shrubs and trees which were replaced after cuts were made in the median strip.

This twin-engined airplane might be just the thing for that at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, at man on your list who has everything. The craft is parked one of the small lots just off North Perimeter Road. Man Who Held Cops Hostage Sentenced Broward County commissioners today were to discuss the emergency revocation of Shawnee Airlines' oper--ating license at Fort Lauderdale--Hollywood International Airport, a. step taken yesterday by the Federal Aviation Administration. Roger Jones, chief of the general aviation district office, said, the carrier's air taxi certificate was lifted for repeated violation of FAA flight safety rules.

The revocation follows an suspension, when the airline was warned to correct previously, observed deficiencies. The order from Jones' office sad. On several occasionsV' Beechcraft and Piper airplanes ated by Shawnee were cited for ing excessive engine oil and for loose rivets. FAA inspectors found one cafJe; where a deficiency had been repaired with common household glue. There had been improper cargo handling and improper maintenance, and that some of the deficiencies? were discovered after passenger1 flights.

peal in West Palm Beach reversed the conviction, saying Moriarty had failed to instruct the jury members properly on the possible verdicts they could reach. Garrison had been scheduled for trial yesterday, but entered the plea after Judge Burnstein indicated that she would sentence him to 10 years in prison concurrent with the five-year term' if he pleaded guilty. Detectives had arrested Garrison on June 17, 1975, for possession of a stolen television set. Broward Circuit Judge Miette K. Burnstein ran that sentence concurrent with a five-year term Garrison had received from another judge for violation of probation.

Garrison had originally been found guilty by a jury of the aggravated assaults and receiving stolen property. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison by Circuit Judge Herbert Moriarty, who tacked that sentence on to the five-year probation violation term. But the 4th District Court of Ap During police questioning about the TV, Garrison managed to steal Det. Thomas Mannin's gun. He pointed the gun at Mannin, Lt.

Jim Gaetaniello and Sgt. Adam Brustowicz and forced them into a small room where he held them hostage. Former Police Chief Thomas Courtney, now the town manager, exchanged himself for his three men and was later able to talk Garrison into surrendering. By Dan Hatfield Staff Writer A 22-year-old former heroin addict who held four Pembroke Park policemen hostage in 1975 is likely to be out of prison within the next two years even though he has been sentenced to a 10-year term. Dane Craig Garrison pleaded no contest yesterday to four counts of aggravated assault against the policemen and was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
