City requests that persons addressing the Planning Commission and/or Board refrain from making personal, slanderous, profane, or

written materials used in your address to the Planning Commission and/or Board as well as a copy of any printed materials you wish to
be distributed to the Planning Commission and/or Board.
MATTERS NOT ON THE AGENDA should be presented during the time designated as “PUBLIC COMMENTS.” In general, each

may shorten the speaking time limit to allow all speakers time to address the Commission and/or Board. By State law, the Planning

AGENDA ITEMS: The Agenda contains the regular order of business of the Planning Commission and/or Board. Items on the Agenda

acted upon by one motion. There will be no separate discussion on these items unless a member of the Planning Commission, Board

separately.
DECORUM: While members of the public are free to level criticism of City policies and the action(s) or proposed action(s) of the
Planning Commission and/or Board or its members, members of the public may not engage in behavior that is disruptive to the orderly
conduct of the proceedings, including, but not limited to, conduct that prevents other members of the audience from being heard when it
is their opportunity to speak, or which prevents members of the audience from hearing or seeing the proceedings. Members of the
public may not threaten any person with physical harm or act in a manner that may reasonably be interpreted as an imminent threat of
physical harm. All persons attending the meeting are expected to adhere to the City’s policy barring harassment based upon a person’s
