Upcoming City Meetings ADJOURN  PUBLIC COMMENT & DECORUM PUBLIC COMMENT & DECORUM The city council wants to hear from the public as much as possible. However, the business of the city must proceed in an orderly, timely manner. The primary purpose of council meetings is to conduct the city's business so we have created a variety of ways the community can make their voices heard. Monday city council meetings are just one opportunity. These guidelines are designed to make sure every person who wants to be heard has both the opportunity to be heard and feels welcome to do so. We receive comments three ways: 1. During council meetings 2. During council study sessions. 3. Email mayorandcouncil@gigharborwa.gov at any time about any issue. This email goes to the elected officials and leadership at the city. Public Comment at City Council Meetings We welcome comment at Council meetings during three specific times: 1) prior to approval of the consent agenda (about the consent agenda); 2) prior to deliberation on each business item and 3) at the end of each business session (about any item that concerns you). When the mayor calls for public comment, please come to the front of the room (or raise your hand on Zoom). When it's your turn, we'll ask you to tell us your name and connection to the issue you want to discuss. You'll then have a maximum of three minutes to speak. Unfortunately, this isn't a time for dialogue, but a staff person or councilmember may be available to talk with you at a break or after the meeting. Additional guidelines • Anyone making "out of order" comments may be subject to removal from the meeting. • Please address your remarks to the city council as a body and not to any specific individual. • Please be courteous and not engage in derogatory remarks or insinuations. • No demonstrations, including clapping, are allowed. Email You are welcome to email the mayor and councilmembers about any issue facing the city by writing to the address above. Do remember that council sets the policy direction while city departments execute those decisions.
