(V) PUBLIC COMMENT
Members of the public are welcome to speak at City Council meetings. As part of the
Council agenda, a period for public comments shall be offered at the commencement
of each regular Council meeting. Public comments will be noted in the City Council
Minutes and become part of the official record. Those wishing to speak should sign their
name and the agenda item or non-agenda topic to be addressed on a designated
participation sheet. If there are five or fewer speakers, fifteen minutes shall be provided
for Public Comment. If there are more than five speakers, a period of forty-five minutes
shall be provided for all comment, and no individual shall speak longer than three
minutes. The Mayor will allocate time among the speakers to ensure that Public
Comment does not exceed forty-five minutes. The business of the City Council shall
commence forty-five minutes after the beginning of Public Comment. Councilmembers
do not respond during Public Comment. Public Comment is intended to foster dialogue
in a respectful and civil manner. Any person who makes such remarks, or who utters
loud, threatening, personal or abusive language, or engages in any other disorderly
conduct which disrupts, disturbs or otherwise impedes the orderly conduct of a meeting
shall, at the discretion of the mayor or presiding officer, be barred from further
participation during that meeting. Public comments are requested to be made with these
guidelines in mind.
