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.
