PUBLIC COMMENTS

A.

We want to welcome our community members to the Council’s meeting. In this forum, the Council does not engage or dialogue with the public; the primary role of the Council is to listen. All comments must be addressed to the Mayor and City Council. Please use the “raise hand” feature if you wish to speak. The Clerk will acknowledge your request and call your name when it is your turn. Your time will start when we confirm that we can hear you. Please state your name, city of residence for the record and keep your comments to the allotted time. Your time cannot be granted to another and your clock time will not be reset unless there are extenuating circumstances and the Presiding Officer has expressly allowed it. Screen-sharing is not allowed; you can submit materials to the Council or Clerk in advance. Please do not comment about pending development projects on which the Council will make future decisions as those are quasi-judicial matters, and Councilmembers must limit their communications about such matters. This meeting is being recorded. Thank you for taking the time to express your comments.
