The following items are on file for consideration of Council:

The Public Comment section offers an opportunity for any citizen to express opinions or ask

This time limit was established to provide efficiency in the conduct of the meeting and to allow equal

are typically referred to City staff for follow-up or research and are then reported back to Council
and the individual who initiated the comment or inquiry.
