PUBLIC PARTICIPATION GUIDELINES
AND RULES OF CONDUCT
HOW TO PARTICIPATE - The City of Redondo Beach welcomes and encourages public participation in public city meeting. Members of the public are invited to participate in public meetings in person, via Zoom, by e-comments, and by email. All public meetings provide the public the ability to comment on Non-Agenda items and on agenda items being deliberated by the Commission.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS - Each agenda includes an agenda item for “Public Participation on Non-Agenda Items”. During this agenda item, the public may speak on any matter so long as the matter is:
1. Under the jurisdiction of the City Council; and,
2. Is not a matter already agendized during the same meeting.
Each speaker is allotted three minutes to speak under Public Participation on Non-Agenda Items.
Each speaker may only speak once. And the time allocated to Public Participation on Non-Agenda Items is limited to 30 minutes.
The Mayor will recognize speakers by alternating, speaker-by-speaker, between (i) members of the public attending in person (with speakers who have submitted written speaking cards to be recognized first, followed by members of the public attending in person who have not submitted written speaking cards), on the one hand, and (ii) members of the public attending via Zoom on the other hand.
Pursuant to provisions of the Brown Act, the body is prohibited from deliberating and taking action on a matter unless it is listed on the agenda, or unless certain emergency or special circumstances exist.
The body may make a “Referral to Staff” related to public comment during that agenda item.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION ON AGENDA ITEMS - For each agendized matter deliberated by the City Council, the Mayor will invite public comment at the appropriate time. Any member of the public may speak to the matter under discussion during this period provided the comments directly address the agenda item. Each speaker is allotted three minutes to speak to each agenda item. Each speaker may only speak once on each agenda item. The Mayor will recognize speakers by alternating, speaker-by-speaker, between (i) members of the public attending in person (with speakers who have submitted written speaking cards to be recognized first, followed by members of the public attending in person who have not submitted written speaking cards), on the one hand, and (ii) members of the public attending via Zoom on the other hand.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION RULES OF CONDUCT AND DECORUM - The City of Redondo Beach recognizes and respects the right of freedom of speech, but rules of conduct and decorum must be observed so that attendees can be heard, and the City Council can conduct its meeting and deliberate and address items before the Council. Any person or group that engages in disorderly or disruptive conduct that impedes the meeting may be asked to leave, or be removed, and the Mayor may clear the room and continue without an audience, or the City Council may adjourn the meeting.
1. Speakers shall restrict their comments to the specific agenda item that they are speaking on or, on Non-Agenda Items, to matters within the Body’s subject matter jurisdiction. Speakers should confine their remarks to those which are relevant to the subject under consideration.
Speakers who do not follow these rules will be asked to cease, and if they do not comply, they will be ruled out of order on the grounds of relevancy and asked to leave the podium and possibly the meeting.
2. All comments should be addressed to the Body and not to other speakers or the audience.
3. Meeting attendees should act with dignity and respect and refrain from the use of profanity and obscenities in speech, on signs, and on clothing.
4. Meeting attendees shall be seated, when seating is available, unless recognized by the Mayor as a speaker or unless entering or leaving, or moving to and from a location within, the Council Chambers in a manner that does not seek to intimidate other attendees or block views of the proceedings. Meeting attendees shall strive to remain quiet during the proceedings and shall not hold up placards or signs that block the views of other attendees. Attendees may show support or opposition by silently raising and waving both hands for support (as opposed to clapping or cheering) or showing a “thumbs down” in opposition (as opposed to booing).
5. Disruptive and/or disorderly actions and behaviors by members of the public that may result in removal from the meeting are those that actually disrupt, disturb, impede or render infeasible the orderly conduct of the meeting and include, but are not limited to:
a. Refusal to leave the podium after the allotted time is exceeded. b. Refusal to leave the podium after the Mayor has determined that the comments are beyond the jurisdiction of the City Council and/or do not pertain to the matter under consideration in an agenda item.
c. Blocking the view or access of other attendees by standing, occupying the aisles, or by holding up a card a sign or placard that blocks the views of other members of the public, or by other obstruction of public views.
d. Addressing the Council without being recognized by the Mayor. e. Yelling, screaming, making loud or unusual noises, or interrupting a recognized speaker.
f. Interfering with another attendees’ ability to participate. g. Intimidating or threatening behavior.
h. Refusal to heed to a call to order.
i. Failure to cease and desist disruptions when requested by the Mayor. j. Entering a non-public area of the Council chambers without the permission of the Mayor.
k. Failure to leave Council Chambers upon being ejected by the Mayor for violation of the Rules of Conduct.
l. Failure to clear the City Council Chamber upon order of the Mayor pursuant to Government Code 54957.9 or other applicable law.
m. Use of “Hate Speech” (i.e., statements whose sole purpose is to attack, demean, and denigrate an individual or group based on race, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity, nationality, or disability) that disrupts the meeting.
Individuals or groups participating via Zoom or other electronic means that disrupt, disturb, impede, or render infeasible the orderly conduct of the meeting, or who fail to follow the direction of the Mayor, may be silenced or removed from the meeting by the City Clerk or the City Clerk’s representative at the direction of the Mayor.
No person, other than City elected officials and staff, shall enter the non-public area of the Council
