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

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.
