MINUTES):
The Council values
your input. Individual speakers are limited
to three minutes or as directed by the Mayor.
To address the Council you are asked to fill out a Request to Speak
Form and provide it to City Staff PRIOR TO this part of the agenda. This assists the Clerk in accurately
preparing the minutes of the meeting.
Once the public comment period commences, no other speakers will be
allowed to submit a Request to Speak Form.
This time is reserved to accept comments from the public on Consent
Agenda items, Closed Session items, or matters not otherwise scheduled on this
agenda. Direction to staff may be given;
however, State law does not allow action to be taken by the Council on matters
not on the printed agenda at this meeting.

necessary to make governmental decisions.
