The comment will be read into the record at the meeting (350 words maximum, up to 3 minutes, at the discretion of the Mayor). IMPORTANT: Identify the agenda item in the subject line of your email if the comment is for Announcement of Community Events, Public Comment, or a specific Agenda Item number. No one may speak more than once on an agenda item or during “Public Comments”. All emails received  by 3:00 p.m. the day of the Council Meeting will be entered into the record for the meeting.

After having heard from the public, the agenda item will be closed. Deliberations will then be limited to members of the City Council.

If the Council meeting appears to be going late, the City Council may decide to continue some items until a subsequent meeting.  We will try to make this determination around 10:00 p.m.  It is the goal of the City Council to stop discussing agenda items no later than 11:00 p.m.
