Pursuant to the City Council Meeting Rules adopted by Resolution No. 24076,
members of all Boards and Commissions and the public are reminded that they must
preserve order and decorum throughout the meeting. In that regard, members of all
Boards and Commissions, as well as the public participants are advised that any
delay or disruption in the proceedings or a refusal to obey the orders of the City
Council, Boards and commissions, or their presiding officer constitutes a violation of
these rules.
The City of Riverside is committed to fostering a respectful workplace that requires
all employees and external stakeholders to embrace a culture of transparency and
inclusivity. This includes acceptable behavior from everyone; a workplace that
provides dignity, respect, and civility to our employees, customers, and the public
they serve. City meetings should be a place where all members of our community
feel safe and comfortable to participate. While there could be a high level of emotion
associated with topics on this agenda, the City would like to set the expectation that
all members of the public use language appropriate to a collaborative, professional,
and respectful public environment.
