item of interest to the public that is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the legislative body, not including items
on the agenda, for up to three minutes for each speaker. Estimated times have been placed under each heading
to assist with meeting management. Please note that these times are merely an estimate.
Please note that each speaker may speak for up to 15 minutes at any one Council meeting, with additional time
