court, you may be limited, by California law, including but not limited to Government Code Section 65009, to raising only

be waived unless a Councilmember requests otherwise. Per Council Policy A-13, no new items of business will begin after

Pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), if you need special assistance in this meeting, please contact the

reduce speaking time to no less than 1.5 minutes per speaker unless there is an objection from Council by majority vote.
If requested in advance of the public input portion of the agenda item to the Mayor or City Clerk, a speaker who represents
five or more members of the public in attendance who complete cards but elect not to speak may have up to 10 minutes to
