Sebastopol City Council Announcement:
Agenda Change for February 20, 2024, Council Meeting
Announcement Issued February 19, 2024
The Sebastopol City Council has received substantial
comments on a particular item that is scheduled for the February 20, 2024, City Council meeting: Item #4 proposing a Cease Fire qqResolution. This notice announces a change in the February 20, 2024, agenda as to Item #4.
This item has received an unexpected outpouring of public attention. Comments have been received from our local
constituents, as expected, but also from many outside our City boundaries, including other parts of Sonoma County and other parts of the State.
VAz zzzww is In other jurisdictions where this topic has been discussed recently, it has attracted large numbers of people and, due to the emotionally charged nature of the subject, has led in some instances to disruption and even violence.
For public safety and because of the relatively small size of the City Council venue, the Mayor and Vice Mayor, who establish the agenda for City Council meetings, have decided to drop this item from the February 20, 2024, agenda.
It may be considered for a future agenda, with consideration for allocating sufficient time to allow all those interested in the topic to provide public comment, and arranging a venue that can accommodate the number of participants expected to
attend.
All those who are interested in this topic are encouraged to submit written public comment to
[email protected]. All comments submitted are appreciated and valued by this City Council.
Any questions can be directed to Mayor Diana Rich
([email protected]).
