Persons wishing to address the City Council are requested to complete a
Speaker’s Card located in the rear of the Council Chambers before
the Public Comment portion of the meeting is called. Once the Public Comment
portion of the meeting is closed no Speaker Cards will be accepted. Public
comment is subject to reasonable regulations, including but not limited to,
a time restriction on particular issues up to 15 minutes maximum, and for
each individual speaker up to (5) five minutes maximum.
The Public Comment portion of the meeting is reserved for persons
desiring to address the Council on any matter not on this agenda. The law
does not permit Council action or extended discussion of any item not on the
agenda except under special circumstances. If Council action is requested,
the Council may place the matter on a future agenda. All statements that
require a response will be referred to staff for a reply in writing.
Persons wishing to address the City Council on an item that is on the
agenda are requested to complete a Speaker’s Card and turn the Card into
the City Clerk at the time the Mayor calls for public comment for the agenda
item. Once the call for Speaker Cards has been announced and closed, no
additional Speaker Cards will be accepted.
Each speaker must address his or her comments to the City Council. At the
podium, we request that you state your name and address into the microphone
for the record. Each speaker’s comments will be limited to (3) three
minutes; however, the Mayor may adjust time limits depending on the number
of people wanting to speak and the time available to complete the Council
Agenda. No public comments will be taken from anyone while seated in the
audience.
Any person who wishes to distribute written materials or documents to the
City Council, must prepare 10 copies and provide those copies to the City
Clerk prior to the meeting and at any time during the meeting so that it may
be entered into the public record. Persons wishing to make audio visual or
PowerPoint presentations to the City Council must make prior arrangements
with the City Clerk at least 72 hours prior to the presentation date. Audio
visual or PowerPoint presentations should not exceed 10 minutes, however, an
extension of this time will be at the discretion of the Mayor. The City has
the right to restrict the content of these presentations to the subject
matter within the City Council’s jurisdiction.
Those wishing to have an item brought before the City Council for
consideration, must request so during a City Council meeting. Upon Council
approval, the item will be placed on the Council Policy Committee Agenda for
further consideration.
Constructive criticism with appropriate courtesy is always welcome.
However, willful interruption of the meeting will not be tolerated. Under
the Brown Act, the Mayor may ask anyone engaging in disruptive behavior
during City Council proceedings be removed from the assembly room
immediately before continuing the meeting.
