Marshall Mayor Vince Lutterbie delivered a statement regarding the “Business from the Audience” portions of the city council meetings on Tuesday, October 3.

Lutterbie urged people to avoid talking about past administrations during meetings and encourages residents to contact him one-on-one to find solutions to their problems.

Lutterbie said that if members from the audience do bring up problems they have with prior administrations during current council meetings, they will be given a warning. However, if they persist, then that person could be prohibited from speaking at a council meeting for two months.

The new guidelines for this portion of city council meetings took effect August 15. Anyone with questions should contact Mayor Lutterbie at 660-886-2226.
