REQUEST TO
SPEAK: A member of the public may address the City
Council regarding any scheduled agenda item.
Any person wishing to address the City Council should first complete and
deliver to the City Administrator/City Clerk a “Request to Speak” form prior to
the time that the item on the agenda is read by the Deputy City Clerk. The City Council, upon majority vote, may
decline to hear a speaker on the grounds that the subject matter is beyond
their jurisdiction.
PUBLIC
COMMENT: At the beginning of an Ordinance or Finance
Committee meeting, any member of the public who so requests will be provided
with a brief opportunity to address the Committee concerning any item on the
Committee's agenda for that meeting. At
the beginning of the 2:00 p.m. session of each regular City Council meeting,
and at the beginning of each special City Council meeting, any member of the
public may address the City Council.
Should City Council business continue into the evening session of a
regular City Council meeting at 6:00 p.m., the City Council will allow any
member of the public who did not address them during the 2:00 p.m. session to
do so. The total amount of time for
public comments will be 15 minutes, and no individual speaker may speak for
more than 1 minute.
CONSENT CALENDAR:
The
Consent Calendar is comprised of items that will not usually require discussion
by the City Council. A Consent Calendar
item is open for discussion by the City Council upon request of a
Councilmember, City staff, or member of the public. Items on the Consent Calendar may be approved
by a single motion. Should you wish to comment
on an item listed on the Consent Agenda, after turning in your speaker slip,
you should come forward to speak at the time the Council considers the Consent
Calendar.
