CITIZEN PARTICIPATION: Your participation is welcomed and invited at all City Council meetings. Time is reserved at
each regular meeting for those in the audience who wish to address the City Council. The City requests that persons addressing the City Council refrain from making personal, slanderous, profane, or disruptive remarks. Where possible,
please submit a Speaker Card to the City Clerk prior to your comments, or simply come to the podium when the Mayor asks for those who wish to speak, and state your name and address (optional) for the record. Please provide the City
Clerk with a copy of any written materials used in your address to the City Council as well as 10 copies of any printed materials you would like distributed to the City Council. The use of City equipment for presentations is not permitted.
MATTERS NOT ON THE AGENDA should be presented during the time designated as “PUBLIC COMMENTS.”
In general, each speaker will be given five (5) minutes to address the City Council; however, the Mayor, at his/her discretion, may shorten the speaking time limit to allow all speakers time to address the City Council. By State
law, the City Council may not discuss or vote on items not on the agenda. The matter will automatically be referred to staff for appropriate action or response or will be placed on the agenda of a future meeting.
MATTERS ON THE AGENDA should be addressed when the City Council considers that item. Please indicate
the Agenda Item Numbers(s) on the Speaker Card. Your name will be called at the appropriate time and you may proceed with your presentation within the five (5) minute time frame. The Mayor, at his/her discretion, may
shorten the speaking time limit to allow all speakers to address the City Council.

be limited to five (5) minutes per person. The Mayor, at his/her discretion, may shorten the speaking time limit to allow all speakers to address the City Council. The applicant may additionally submit rebuttal comments.
AGENDA ITEMS: The Agenda contains the regular order of business of the City Council. Items on the Agenda have
generally been reviewed and investigated by the City Staff in advance of the meeting so that the City Council can be fully informed about a matter before making its decision.
CONSENT CALENDAR: Items listed on the Consent Calendar are considered to be routine by the City Council and will
be acted upon by one motion. There will be no separate discussion on these items unless a member of the City Council, Staff, or the public so requests. In this event, the item will be removed from the Consent Calendar and considered and
acted on separately.

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
