About the Council

The Council encourages expression of views and opinions by citizens on any matter of community interest that is within the Council's authority. Comments during public hearings, written and oral communications are all appropriate methods of expressing views.


Meetings & Agendas

There are specific guidelines to follow if you wish to present or speak at a Council meeting.


Presentations

Correspondence from other agencies is handled under this section of the agenda.


Consent Calendar

All matters listed under this section are considered to be routine and will be acted upon by 1 motion. There is no discussion of individual items on the Consent Calendar unless requested by a member of the Council or the public prior to the Council vote on this section of the agenda.


Oral Communication

This is a point in the Council meeting where anyone in the audience may communicate with the Council about matters that are not on the agenda. Speakers will be limited in time and should submit their name to the City Clerk. As it is not legal for the Council to discuss any matter not on its agenda, any issue brought up under Oral Requests will not be acted upon by the City Council at the meeting.


Public Hearings

Persons who wish to speak on matters set for public hearing will be heard when the Mayor calls for comments from the audience on an issue. After all interested parties have spoken, the hearing will be closed and the matter will be discussed and acted upon by the Council. No further comment is permitted from the audience at this time, unless invited by the Council.
