At the conclusion of the hearings, the City Council of the City of Dunnellon will make a decision whether to approve the applicant's request.

All witnesses will be sworn in and will testify under oath,  All persons presenting evidence will state their name and residence address for the record.  All documentary evidence will be marked as an exhibit and maintained as a part of the record if accepted by Council.
