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.
