6:00 P.M.
City Hall
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.
Regular City Council meeting times are set by resolution to begin at 6:00 pm. The City Council meeting will end at 10:00 pm unless by a majority vote of the City Council it is agreed to extend the meeting time. Should the meeting end time be reached without addressing all of the items on the agenda, the meeting will be continued to a date and time set by the City Council in the adjournment motion. The items remaining on the agenda shall be addressed when the meeting is continued.
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.
