PUBLIC COMMENT GUIDELINES
LIVE PUBLIC COMMENT:
During each regular meeting, the public may directly address the City Council on any matter within the Council’s subject
matter jurisdiction, including any matter that is not on the agenda. If the subject of the comments is not covered under an
item on the meeting agenda, the Brown Act strictly limits the City’s ability to respond.
Speakers are requested to submit a speaker card prior to the item being called in order to assist with the efficient and
orderly conduct of the meeting. A speaker card is not required, provided the speaker makes a clear and timely request to
address the Council. Information on speaker cards is subject to public disclosure under the California Public Records Act.
For each item, speaking time is up to three minutes per person, unless otherwise specified for hearings and appeals, or
at the discretion of the Mayor or City Council to address special circumstances. The Mayor may modify (increase or
decrease) any time requirements for any speaker or change the order of the items on the agenda, in accordance with
Council’s Rules of Order and Procedures (R2016 6) to facilitate the efficient and fair conduct of the meeting.
PROVIDING WRITTEN PUBLIC COMMENT:*

written comments will be included in the official record in accordance with the Council’s Rules of Order and Procedures
(R2016 6). Public comments will NOT be read aloud during the meeting.
To allow City Council adequate time to review public comments before the meeting, comments are encouraged to be
