• Can I speak on an agenda item?

  If you plan to speak on a particular agenda item:

  When the chairman asks if anyone would like to give Public input on that item in the order that it is listed on the agenda, please raise your hand to be called upon by the chairman and invited to the lectern to speak. We ask that you please wait until the Chair recognizes you to approach the podium when your item of interest is up for discussion. 
  When at the podium, please clearly state your first and last name and home address for the record as you speak directly to the council. 
  As time is limited to three minutes per speaker, to maximize your time, please try to eliminate repetitiveness and exercise brevity in your comments.
