PARTICIPATION: Members of the public at the meeting may address the City Council with comments on a specific

the City Clerk prior to the start of the meeting. When called to speak, please step up to the lectern, speak clearly

City Council on more general issues. Councilmembers are normally not permitted to discuss or take legal action on
any matters raised by the public that are not specifically on the agenda.
To give everyone an opportunity to speak, comments are generally limited to three minutes unless otherwise
determined by the Mayor. If you are with a group, please designate a spokesperson.
CONSENT AGENDA: All items listed on the agenda with an asterisk (*) are on the consent agenda which means they
will be considered by the City Council as
a
group, without any separate discussion of these items, unless
a
Councilmember or citizen requests the item be removed from the consent agenda to be considered separately.
To
request removal of an item from the consent agenda, please submit a blue speaker card to the City Clerk prior to the
start of the meeting.
