Speaker Cards - Those persons wishing to address the City Council on any matter, whether or not it appears on the agenda, must complete and submit to the City Clerk a "Request to Speak" card available at the entrance to the City Council Chambers. In accordance with the Public Records Act, any information you provide on this form is available to the public. You are not required to provide your name or other personal information in order to speak. The City Clerk's Office will explain how you will be called to speak if you decline to provide your name. Comments will be limited to a maximum of three minutes per speaker for agendized items and a maximum of one minute for non-agendized items. Only one speaker card per person per comment period may be submitted. Individuals must submit their own speaker card. Public comment periods will generally be limited to 30 minutes per meeting and/or the maximum time limits for speaking may be reduced, so not all members of the public may have the opportunity to speak at every council meeting. If you want to communicate information to the City you can also do so via email at [email protected]. All public comments must address matters within the subject matter jurisdiction of the City Council, which is considered "City business." Failure to adhere to the prohibition against public comments on non-city business, will result in the speaker losing their opportunity to provide public comments at that meeting. "City business" includes matters over which the City has been granted authority pursuant to state law, subject to state and federal legal and constitutional limitations. These matters include the construction, maintenance and repair of streets, parks and public facilities; providing water, sewer and trash services; providing recreation services and programs; overseeing land development except to the extent the City's authority has been pre-empted by federal and state law; providing public safety services, including police and fire/paramedic services which the City does by contracting with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department and working with the Chino Valley Fire District and through its own code enforcement personnel; imposing regulations over conduct and activities in the City to protect the health, safety and welfare of the community; and the City also has the right to hire and manage personnel, the responsibility to maintain public records and the authority to impose fees and taxes and provide the financial services necessary to provide the above services. "Signs", banners, flags or other symbolic material (except those that are emblazoned on clothing) are prohibited within the Council Chambers because they may obstruct the view of other attendees, obstruct the passage of other attendees, create a fire or safety hazard, or otherwise disturb the business of the meeting. However, signs no larger than 12X24 inches are permitted in the overflow community room located in the southeast corner of the Council Chamber. These signs, banners, flags and other symbolic objects must be left in the overflow area when approaching the dais for public comments or otherwise leaving that area except to leave the Council Chambers. Signs with any type of stick, pole or similar object are prohibited in the Council Chambers.
Levine Act Disclosure: Parties to a proceeding are required to disclose if they made contributions over $500 within the prior 12 months to a Council Member. If a Council Member accepted more than $500 during the 12 months preceding the decision, the Council Member is required to recuse themself from the decision. Parties and participants with a financial interest are prohibited from making more than $500 in contributions to a Council Member for the 12 months after the final decision is rendered on the proceeding. The above contribution disclosures and restrictions do not apply when the proceeding is competitively bid, or involves a personnel or labor contract. For more information, see Government Code Section 84308.
TIPS FOR PUBLIC SPEAKING AT A COUNCIL MEETING
• If you have filled out a speaker card with or without your name and/or contact information, please hand it to the Clerk. • A speaker may not relinquish his/her time to another speaker. • Be prepared to come forward to the speaker's podium when your name is called. • As you begin to speak, state your name clearly for the record(although this is not required)and city of residence. If you represent a group or organization, please state that information as well. • Don't be nervous. It may help to take a deep breath and exhale slowly before you speak. • Please show courtesy to others and direct all comments to the Mayor and Council. • Do not address comments to the audience or staff members. • Make your position known at the beginning, then present supporting information. • Identify your main points. Writing them down ahead of time will help you organize your thoughts and remember them when you're at the podium.
• Don't repeat yourself. If a previous speaker has already made the point you planned to make, simply refer to that speaker and emphasize your support for that position.
• Handouts summarizing your position may be distributed to the Clerk before or after your presentation. • Close your comments with an action statement such as, "Adopt this resolution"or"I urge you to vote'yes'(or'no')on this item." • Any person who disrupts the orderly conduct of the Council's business may be barred from making further comments and shall be subject to removal from the Chambers.
