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.
