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 agenda item. In addition, City
meetings may be televised and may be accessed through the City's website at
https://www.rpvca.gov/agendas.
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. Virtual participation is also offered

Public Comments: The City Council may limit the public input on any item based on the number of people requesting to

the person making the threat.
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.
