Addressing City Council:
Unless the meeting is a Public Hearing, individuals wishing to address City Council during the Public Participation & Hearing portion of a regular Council meeting must submit a Council Request Form to the City Clerk no less than 24 hours prior to the meeting.

Remarks must relate directly to items listed on the published meeting agenda. Only individuals whose issues appear on the agenda will be invited to speak, and remarks will be limited to three (3) minutes, subject to the discretion of the Chair.
