ample time to review and consider the issues raised prior to making decisions at the Council
meeting. Please keep in mind that it is difficult for Council Members to carefully review
materials submitted after that deadline or at the meeting. Written materials, including emails,
submitted to the City are public records and may be posted on the City’s website. Accordingly,
you may wish to omit personal information from your written materials or oral presentation as it
may become part of the public record regarding an agendized item. In addition, City
meetings may be televised and may be accessed through the City's website.
Public
Participation:
Participants must speak from the podium using the lectern microphone; comments are to be
directed to the City Council and not to the staff or the public; repetition should be avoided; and
reading a submission that has been copied or contained in the agenda will be discouraged.
Public Comments: The City Council may limit the public input on any item based on the number of people
requesting to speak, the length of the agenda, or the business of the Council.

The Mayor shall order removed from the Council Chambers any person(s) who commit the
following acts at a meeting of the City Council: Disorderly, contemptuous or insolent behavior

interrupt the due and orderly course of said meeting; disobedience of any lawful order of the
Mayor, which shall include an order to be seated or to refrain from addressing the Council

meeting.
Time Estimates: The time noted next to an agenda item is only an estimate of the amount of time that will be
spent during the meeting on that particular item. Accordingly, these estimates should not be
relied on in determining when a matter will be heard, especially since agenda items are often
re-ordered during a meeting and may be discussed at any time.
