city for the future. As this is NOT a public hearing, there will be no cheering, clapping, jeering or speaking out
during the hearing. Only the person at the podium has the floor to speak during their allotted time. If
someone does speak out, cheer, claps, etc. they will be asked to leave the meeting and or escorted out of the
