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.
