RULES OF ORDER FOR THE CONDUCT OF HOUSING AUTHORITY MEETINGS:
The Housing Authority conducts its meetings in accordance with the requirements of state law (the "Ralph M. Brown
Act," California Government Code Sections 54950, et seq.) and the City's Rules of Order (Council Policy Resolution 19,
R2016-6). Members of the public are expected to conduct themselves with courtesy and respect and comply with
the Rules of Order.
PROCEDURES TO DIRECTLY ADDRESS THE HOUSING AUTHORITY BOARD:
Any member of the public may directly address the Housing Authority Board regarding any matter identified on the
agenda. Regular meeting agendas will include an agenda item for "Public Comment". Each speaker is requested to
submit a speaker card or request to speak before the item is called to be addressed by the Chair and Board Members (for
Public Comment, Consent Calendar, Administrative Reports, Consent Hearings, or Public Hearings). Speaker cards
are used to promote efficient and orderly progress of the meeting; however, a card is not required if the speaker
otherwise makes a clear and timely request to address the Chair and Board Members. Information on Speaker cards is
subject to public disclosure under the California Public Records Act.
Speakers should direct comments to the Housing Authority Board, not the audience. Speakers are expected to yield
the floor when the time limit is identified. For each item, speaking time is limited to no more than three minutes per
person, unless otherwise specified for hearings and appeals, or at the discretion of the Chair or Board to address
special circumstances. The Chair may modify (increase or decrease) any time requirements for any speaker, or change
the order of the items on the agenda, in accordance with the Housing Authority Board's Rules of Order in order to
facilitate the efficient and fair conduct of the meeting. This may include moving all or a portion of the Public Comment
portion of the agenda to the end of the meeting (see Council Policy Resolution 19, R2016-6 section 6.1.4).
