order and thus all those interested in an item listed on the agenda are advised to be present throughout the meeting (see Policy and
Procedure A-13). The reading of the full text of ordinances and resolutions will be waived unless a Councilmember requests otherwise.
By policy, no new items of business will be started after 10:00 p.m., unless an exception is made by vote of the Council.
ADDRESSING THE COUNCIL
Interested persons are entitled to speak on any action item listed on the agenda and are requested to fill out the blue cards available at the
rear of the Council Chambers and deposit them with the clerk or at the podium as soon as completed. This will assure that your name and
city of residence are accurately recorded in the minutes and that your interest in speaking is recognized. If you wish to speak and are not
recognized by the Mayor, please approach the podium prior to completion of discussion on the item. Speakers are allowed up to three
minutes each, and if a large group wishes to express its views, it is more effective to have one spokesperson.
Items on the "Consent Calendar" are not discussed individually but are approved as a group with one motion. If a citizen wishes to speak
on an item on the Consent Calendar, he or she may come to the podium at the time announced by the Mayor and request that the item be
pulled for discussion by the Council.
Anyone wishing to address the Council on a nonagenda item may do so during the "Oral Communications" part of the agenda. Speakers
are allowed to speak one time on any number of topics for up to three minutes.
Reducing Time For Public Input: For any single agendized item and for Oral Communications from the Public, if there appears to be 15
or more speakers and the Council might not be able to conclude the scheduled agenda items for the meeting if speakers were allotted three
(3) minutes each, the Mayor may reduce speaking time to no less than two (2) minutes per speaker unless there is an objection from
Council, in which case majority vote shall decide the issue without debate.
