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.
