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.
5 Scheduled Presentations (None)
6 Consideration of Communications, Proclamations and Appointments (None)
CONSENT AGENDA
The Consent Agenda can be adopted by a simple motion. The Consent Agenda will be read aloud prior
to a vote on the motion. Any Consent Agenda item may be removed from the Consent Agenda at the
request of a Council Member for individual consideration.

Given the quasi-judicial nature of land use cases, applicants, members of the public and press are
advised that, to ensure a fair and unbiased process, and to provide due process to the applicant and the
public, the City Council is only allowed to consider communications that occur during the public hearing
and matters set forth in the offical record for the matter. Consequently, City Council Members cannot
