REQUEST TO SPEAK:  A member of the public may address the City Council regarding any scheduled agenda item.  Any person wishing to address the City Council or Redevelopment Agency should first complete and deliver to the City Administrator/City Clerk a “Request to Speak” form prior to the time that the item on the agenda is read by the Deputy City Clerk.  The City Council or Redevelopment Agency, upon majority vote, may decline to hear a speaker on the grounds that the subject matter is beyond their jurisdiction.

PUBLIC COMMENT:  At the beginning of an Ordinance or Finance Committee meeting, any member of the public who so requests will be provided with a brief opportunity to address the Committee concerning any item on the Committee's agenda for that meeting.  At the beginning of the 2:00 p.m. session of each regular City Council and Redevelopment Agency meeting, and at the beginning of each special City Council and Redevelopment Agency meeting, any member of the public may address them.  Should City Council or Redevelopment Agency business continue into the evening session of a regular City Council and Redevelopment Agency meeting at 6:00 p.m., the City Council or Redevelopment Agency will allow any member of the public who did not address them during the 2:00 p.m. session to do so.  The total amount of time for public comments will be 15 minutes, and no individual speaker may speak for more than 1 minute. 

CONSENT CALENDAR:  The Consent Calendar is comprised of items that will not usually require discussion by the City Council or Redevelopment Agency.  A Consent Calendar item is open for discussion by the City Council or Redevelopment Agency upon request of a Councilmember, Agency Member, City staff, or member of the public.  Items on the Consent Calendar may be approved by a single motion.  Should you wish to comment on an item listed on the Consent Agenda, after turning in your speaker slip, you should come forward to speak at the time the Council/Redevelopment Agency considers the Consent Calendar.
