in the meeting.
Please try to submit your REQUEST TO ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL form to the City Clerk prior to the

section consists of routine items which, unless a request has been received from the public, council or staff
to remove a particular item for discussion, are enacted by one motion of the City Council. If you wish to
speak to any Consent Calendar item(s)you will be limited to three minutes. Public Hearings: This section
is devoted to noticed hearings. Although the normal time limit is three minutes for each speaker,the mayor
may grant additional time to a representative speaking for an entire group; however,this should not
discourage anyone from addressing the City Council individually. Regular Business: This section
contains items of general business and you will be allowed three minutes to speak on any item. City
Council Oral Reports: This section is designated for oral reports from council members to report on their
Council assignments. Public Comments: This part of the agenda is reserved for making comments on
matters which are NOT on the agenda. If you have submitted a request to speak, you will be called by the
City Clerk at the appropriate time and you may speak for up to three minutes. Please limit your comments
to matters within the jurisdiction of the City Council. Due to State law, no action can be taken on matters
brought up under Public Comments. If action by the City Council is necessary,the matter may be placed
on a future agenda or referred to staff, as determined by Council.
An estimated time for presentation, public input and discussion of each agenda item is shown to the left of
the item number. These estimated times are included only to predict the overall length of each City Council
meeting and are not intended to preclude public input, full discussion and thoughtful deliberation of each
item.
Please make your remarks at the lectern microphone and direct your comments to the City Council and not
to the staff or the public.
Conduct at the Council Meeting: The City Council has adopted a set of rules for conduct during City
Council meetings. The following is an excerpt from those adopted Rules of Procedure:
