Public
Correspondence:
We highly encourage written materials regarding City Council Agenda items be submitted no
later than 4:00 P.M. the Monday prior to a City Council meeting to allow the Council Members
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.
Conduct at the
Council Meeting:
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
toward the Council or any member thereof, tending to interrupt the due and orderly course of
said meeting; a breach of the peace, boisterous conduct or violent disturbance, tending to
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
from the audience; any other unlawful interference with the due and orderly course of the
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.
Continuation of
Meeting:
The City Council will adjourn its meetings on or before 11:00 p.m. and will not consider new
business items after 10:15 p.m., unless the majority of the Council members who are present
affirmatively vote either to extend the meeting after 11:00 p.m. or to consider new business

completed, any unfinished business will be continued to the next succeeding day that is not a
