1 To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Lara Weisiger, City Clerk
Date: June 10, 2024
Supplemental Memo regarding: 6-D Rules of Order
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
This memo is being provided to supplement the staff report already published for the June 18, 2024, City Council meeting. In response to a suggestion from the public, staff suggests making a revision to Section 5 of the Rules of Order as follows:
5. Public Comment on Regular Agenda Items and Council Referrals. Public comment will be allowed on all agenda items at the time each item is called. All speakers, regardless of elected or appointed status, shall limit comments to three (3) minutes if there are less than five (5) speakers or limited to two (2) minutes for items with five (5) or more speakers.
No speaker may cede time to another. Public comment is not permitted on motions.
Presentations and Council questions precede public comment. Public comment shall not be used to elicit a debate and speakers shall are strongly encouraged to avoid personal attacks of members of the Council, staff or public.
In addition to this memo, revised redline versions of the Rules of Order and resolution are being attached to the staff report to reflect the change.
