AGENDA
Meeting Protocols:
PLEASE TURN OFF CELL PHONES; BE RESPECTFUL AND TAKE PERSONAL CONVERSATIONS
INTO THE LOBBY AREA.
The Centennial City Council Meetings are audio streamed live on the City’s website. Please remember
to mute the volume on your laptop computers and to turn off all cell phones as they may cause
interference with the microphones and audio streaming.
1. Call to Order
2. Roll Call
3. Pledge of Allegiance
4. Public Comment
The Public Comment section offers an opportunity for any citizen to express opinions or ask questions
regarding City services, policies or other matters of community concern, and any agenda items that are
not a part of a scheduled public hearing. Citizens will have three minutes for comments if they are
speaking as an individual, or five minutes if speaking on behalf of a group or organization. These time
limits were established to provide efficiency in the conduct of the meeting and to allow equal opportunity
for everyone wishing to speak. An immediate response should not be expected, as issues are typically
referred to City staff for follow-up or research and are then reported back to Council and the individual
who initiated the comment or inquiry.
Written materials for presentation to Council may be submitted to the City Clerk as the speaker
approaches the podium. The City’s computer presentation equipment is not available for general public
use, although applicants are permitted to display relevant illustrations and material useful in informing the
Council and public of a project. The public may, however, use the document camera for visual
presentation of materials, if desired.
