Please address the Council from the podium, which is located to the left of the City Clerk’s table. o Each speaker generally has two minutes to speak per item. The amount of time allotted to speakers may vary at the Mayor’s discretion, depending on the number of speakers or the length of the agenda. o To assist you in tracking your speaking time, there is a display on the podium. The green light turns on when you begin speaking; the yellow light turns on when you have 30 seconds left; and the red light turns on when your speaking time is up.
