will be managed by the City Clerk and the Council President as described under In-Person Comment on Agenda Items and Virtual Public Comment on Agenda Items.
Non-Agenda Public Comment. Every agenda for a regular Council meeting shall provide a period on the agenda for members of the public to address the Council on items of interest to the public that are not on the agenda but are within the jurisdiction of the Council. NonAgenda Public Comment shall be subject to the exercise of the Council President’s discretion for a given agenda.
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. The order of speaking generally will be determined on a firstcome, first-served basis, however, priority may be given to speakers who have not addressed the legislative body during Non-Agenda Public Comment at the last regularly scheduled Council meeting. 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. In-person testimony shall conclude before virtual testimony begins.
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.
Please note: On Tuesdays, Non-Agenda Public Comment is taken during the 10am session, but some Non-Agenda Public Comment may be trailed, at the Council President’s discretion for meeting management purposes.
Comment on Agenda Items, Non-Agenda Public Comment, and Closed Session Public Comment may also be submitted using the webform indicating the comment type and item number (if relevant) for which you wish to submit your comment. Comments received by 8:00 AM the day of the meeting will be distributed to the City Council and posted online with the meeting materials. All webform comments are limited to 500 words but may include attachments. Comments received after 8:00 AM the day of the meeting but before the item is called will be submitted into the written record for the relevant item.
Audio/Visual Materials. Any audio or visual media should be submitted 24 hours before the meeting to [email protected]. Universal Serial Bus (USB) or other peripheral devices will not be accepted at any meeting.
Written Materials. Instead of submitting written materials as an attachment to the webform you may submit via U.S. Mail to the City Clerk’s attention at 202 C Street, MS2A San Diego, CA 92101. Materials submitted via U.S. Mail must be received no later than one business day prior to the meeting to be distributed to the City Council. Comments received via U.S. Mail on the day of the meeting will be submitted into the written record for the relevant item.
