When the light turns red, the speaker must conclude their comments and leave the lectern. * If there are a significant number of speakers, at the discretion of the Mayor or Chair of the meeting, the total amount of time for Public Statements may be limited to 45 minutes. Each speaker’s time will be shortened proportionately or as otherwise determined by the Chair for the orderly conduct of the meeting. * Speaker cards may be submitted to the City Clerk only until the beginning of Public Statements (Agenda Item No. 4). * Speaker cards will only be distributed at the City Council meeting. * Once Public Statements (Agenda Item No. 4) begins, the City Clerk will no longer distribute speaker cards and no additional cards will be accepted. * Speakers will be called in the order their cards are received to the extent feasible. * Each speaker may speak one time only during Public Statements (Agenda Item No. 4 or Agenda Item No. 6). If a speaker wishes to address multiple topics they must do so during their three minutes. * Speakers cannot donate or concede any part of their allotted time to another speaker. * Based upon First Amendment rights, speakers may read a statement authored by another person during Public Statements during their three minutes, however, they will not be provided an additional three minutes to make their own personal statements. * Members of the public unable to attend the City Council meeting but wish to make comments are directed to send an email ([email protected]) or written correspondence to the City Clerk’s office with their comments for inclusion in the Clerk’s files of the proceeding. * Members of the public must bring their own electronic equipment, except for a projector, for electronic presentations to the City Council. City equipment, except for a projector, will not be used for presentations by the public. It is incumbent upon the presenter to ensure their electronic equipment is compatible with the City’s projector. * All remarks shall be addressed to the Council, and not to the audience. * In observance of the Brown Act, Council Members must refrain from engaging in dialogue with members of the public during public statements. * At the Mayor, or Chair of the meeting’s discretion, a speaker’s time may be extended.
Use of a Translator
* The City shall provide a translator if one is requested by a member of the public with a 48-hour advance notice. If a 48-hour advance notice is not provided, the member of the public may provide their own translator. * Per California Government Code 54954.3, if an individual utilizes a translator during Public Statements, the legislative body of a local agency shall provide at least twice the allotted time to a member of the public who utilizes a translator to ensure that non-English speakers receive the same opportunity to directly address the legislative body of a local agency. * If the City provides a translator or translation equipment that allows for the simultaneous translation of the testimony, then no additional time shall be granted.
Decorum for Members of the Public:
* There shall be no yelling, or "speaking out of turn," from the audience at either the City Council or speakers at the lectern. * There shall be no clapping or booing of speakers addressing the City Council. * Speakers shall abide by time limits provided for under Public Statements. * Speakers shall leave the lectern when their time to speak has ended and the red light on the lectern has begun blinking or is illuminated. * Failure to abide by speaker time limits may result in removal from the lectern and potentially removal from the meeting if speaking continues. * Although any member of the public has the right to criticize City policies, procedures, programs, services, or actions, remarks shall be limited to the matters related to the subject matter jurisdiction of the City Council/Commission, or Board. * Off-topic, purely personal remarks toward any individual are disruptive and should not be allowed. * Signs are permitted, provided they do not block the view of the meeting of other attendees or otherwise disrupt the meeting.
The Chief of Police or other members of the Police Department shall serve as the Sergeant at Arms and enforce the Rules of Decorum at the request of the Mayor or Chair.
Procedure for Enforcement of the Rules of Decorum:
* The Mayor, or Chair of the meeting, issues a warning to the individual who is violating the rules of decorum and advises them that they are out of order, and to cease the conduct that is disruptive or otherwise is impeding the conduct of the City Council Meeting. * If the person does not cease the conduct immediately or if the conduct is repeated and disrupts the meeting, the Mayor or Chair of the meeting, may order the person to leave the meeting. * If the person does not leave, the Mayor, or Chair of the meeting, asks the Sergeant at Arms to remove them from the meeting. * If the disturbance is caused by a group, and such disturbance renders the orderly conduct of the meeting unfeasible, the Mayor, or Chair of the meeting, may order the room cleared pursuant to Government Code Section 54957.9 and continue in session pursuant to the requirements of that Section. * The Mayor and City Council also may choose to recess or adjourn the City Council meeting. ____________________________________________
