In order to ensure that the Council has time to consider all agenda items, Non-Agenda Public Comment on particular issues and for each individual speaker will be as follows:

Each speaker will be limited to two minutes. Speakers may not allocate their time to other speakers. If there are eight or more speakers on a single issue, the maximum time for the issue will be 16 minutes.

A member of the public may only provide one non-agenda comment per agenda.

In-Person Non-Agenda Public Comment. Each speaker who wishes to address the Council must file a written request (speaker slip) with the City Clerk at the meeting at which the speaker wishes to speak.

Speaker slips may not be turned in prior to the meeting date or after completion of in-person testimony.

Each person who wishes to address the Council shall approach the podium and state who they are representing if representing an organization or another person.

Virtual Non-Agenda Public Comment. Speakers who wish to provide virtual Non-Agenda Public Comment must enter the virtual queue by raising their virtual hands before the queue closes. The queue will close when the last virtual speaker finishes speaking or five minutes after in-person testimony ends, whichever happens first. Those participating virtually may not share video or visual aids (i.e. pdf, ppt, docs) during their non-agenda comment period.
