4) PETITIONS OR COMMUNICATIONS, ORAL OR WRITTEN (Cont.)
The Public Comment section offers an opportunity for any citizen to express opinions or ask questions regarding City services, policies or other matters of community concern, and any agenda items that are not a part of a scheduled public hearing. Citizens will have five minutes for comments. This time limit was established to provide efficiency in the conduct of the meeting and to allow equal opportunity for everyone wishing to speak. An immediate response should not be expected, as issues 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.
Written materials for presentation to Council must be submitted to the City Clerk as the speaker approaches the podium.
