2. PUBLIC
COMMENT PERIOD (NOT TO EXCEED A TOTAL OF 15 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. The law requires that notice be
given to the public at large to allow for full disclosure and discussion and
decisions on important public issues. To
have City Council discussions and decisions on unnoticed items would prevent
the type of public input necessary to make governmental decisions.
3. CONSENT CALENDAR:
The following routine items are presented for City
Council approval without discussion as a single agenda item in order to
expedite the meeting. The Consent
Calendar is approved by roll call vote with one motion. These items are discussed only on request of
Councilmembers. Members of the public
may speak on Consent Calendar items during the Public Comment Period.
SHOULD A COUNCILMEMBER WISH TO DISCUSS OR
DISAPPROVE ANY ITEM, it must be dropped from the blanket motion of approval and
considered as a separate item.
