3. PUBLIC COMMENT
(Estimated Time: 0-30 Minutes) (Sign-up Sheets are provided in the Foyer.)
During this portion of the meeting, community members may address the City Council regarding items
related to City business, including items on the Agenda. In order for the City Council to maintain
impartiality and the appearance of fairness in upcoming matters and to comply with Public Disclosure Law
for political campaigns, speakers will not be permitted to make public comments before the Council in
these two areas: (1) where the public testimony may implicate a matter on which the City Council will be
required to act in a quasi-judicial capacity, or (2) where the speaker promotes or opposes a candidate for
public office or a ballot measure.
Individual comments are limited to two (2) minutes or less. In order to hear as many people as possible
during the 30-minutes set aside for Public Communication, the City Council will refrain from commenting
on individual remarks until all public comment has been taken. The City Council will allow for additional
public comment to be taken at the end of the meeting for those who signed up at the beginning of the
meeting and did not get an opportunity to speak during the allotted 30-minutes.
