Standing Committee Assignments |
|
The Public Comment is an opportunity for citizens to present comments and information to the Council. Council may request that the Chief Administrative Officer or a Council appointee prepare or cause to be prepared a report or take other action in response to any comments; or Council may instead decide to put the matter on a subsequent agenda for further discussion or action or both.
Each person desiring to present any matter concerning such services, policies and affairs shall be allotted such time within the thirty-minute period as determined and allotted by the President of the Council, but not to exceed three minutes.
Every person desiring to present a matter to the Council as herein specified shall, no later than 12:00 noon on the date of the meeting at which such person desires to be heard, make request to the City Clerk for an allotment of time. No person shall speak on any matter of business which is the subject of an ordinance or resolution included on Council’s docket for that day.
Speakers shall supply the Clerk, when requesting time, a detailed and complete description of what their topic will be that provides the Clerk with an understanding of which City agency the comments pertain to or affects, their full legal name and address (including street name and zip code), and home and business telephone numbers, if applicable, and then they shall speak on that subject. Failure to stay on that topic will result in forfeiture of the remaining time that had been allotted to the speaker. No person who refuses to provide any of the information required by this paragraph shall be permitted to speak during the Public Comment period.
An individual may appear before the Council during the Public Comment period no more than four times per year and no more than once within a three-month period. If a person requests to appear before Council and fails to appear or fails to notify the Clerk of an intention to cancel by 12:00 noon on the date of the meeting at which such person desires to be heard, such person shall not participate in Public Comment again until ninety (90) days from the day on which that person failed to appear.
