The
public may address the City Council on items not on the agenda during the
"Public Comment" portion of the agenda, and on any item listed on the
agenda during the consideration of that item when the Mayor calls for public
comment from the audience. Following
recognition, persons desiring to speak are requested to come to the podium and
state their name. Persons wishing to
address the City Council will be limited to three minutes. Members of the
public may aggregate their speaker times, but the aggregate speaker times may
not exceed fifteen minutes. Speaker
times may be adjusted if the Mayor finds it appropriate. After hearing public
comments on an item, the public portion of the meeting is closed and the item
brought to the Council level for discussion and action.
The City Council
enjoys and operates under an open meeting forum, thus encouraging citizens and
members of the audience to address their individual concerns. To the extent
necessary, the City Council expects meetings to be conducted in an orderly
manner and this includes those individuals addressing the City Council to
present their matters of concern and interest.
Individuals who
engage in disorderly, loud, boisterous or disruptive conduct will not be
allowed to continue their presentation before the City Council. This includes
the use of threatening, profane or abusive language in the public assembly. If
an individual engages in such conduct, the Mayor will call the individual to
order. If such conduct continues, at the discretion of the Mayor or a majority
of the City Council, the individual may be ordered to leave the City Council
meeting.
A
person refusing to leave the meeting upon being so ordered by the Mayor or
majority of the City Council will cause the meeting to be halted and the Mayor
to declare a recess. The Sheriff’s Department will then be contacted and
directed to remove the individual from the meeting. Refusing to leave upon
direction of the Sheriff’s Department can result in arrest for violation of
Section 403 of the California Penal Code, which provides in part that “Every person
who, without authority of law, willfully disturbs or breaks up any assembly or
meeting, not unlawful in its character… is guilty of a misdemeanor.” The
refusal to comply with the Sheriff’s deputy may result in an additional
violation of Section 148 of the Penal Code, with respect to interference with a
peace officer and the performance of their duty.
