Please observe the Rules of Council when addressing the body. A full copy of Council Rules can be found on the city website at the bottom of the council agenda. The city website also includes all the meetings and material for the agenda; videos of previous meetings, and livestreams the council meetings in real time.
If you would like to speak this evening, we are asking that you fill out a card - they are on the back table - and provide them to the clerk before speaking. Please address the Council President. You are given privilege of the floor to provide public comment. This is a time to present comments, it is not a question-and-answer session. If you are speaking on behalf of yourself, you have three minutes and if you are speaking on behalf of a group that has several members present, you will be given five minutes. Please be sure to state your name and address for the record and fill out a card.
Courtesy of the Floor is meant to provide public comment on items that are not on the agenda; Council will take all comments under advisement and have the appropriate officials get back to you if necessary. If you have materials for Council, please distribute the material to the Clerk.
Public comment during consideration of ordinances, resolutions and motions is limited by topic - your comments must be relevant. Public comments are taken before council votes on items. Council will not entertain personal insults or attacks, name calling or other behavior that is inconsistent with the purpose of conducting official business. Please address the Council President. Refrain from using offensive language, cursing, and making noises while other people are speaking. Act with decorum. Remove your hat and turn cell phones off. Please be aware that comments and/or behavior in violation of these rules will result in a forfeiture of all remaining time and you will be asked to return to your seat.
