The public may directly address the City Council on any subject within the Council's subject matter jurisdiction, including any matter that is not on the agenda. Speaking time is limited to no more than three (3) minutes per person, the Mayor shall then inform the speaker that they have fifteen (15) seconds to wrap up their comment. If the Mayor does not do so, any other member of the City Council and/or City staff present may also make this reminder. If the matter is not on the agenda, or if the matter is a consent item or discussion item, submit a speaker card or request to speak during the Public Comment portion of the meeting. Speaker cards are not required if the speaker otherwise makes a clear and timely request to address the Council, but do promote the efficient and orderly progress of the meeting. Information on Speaker Cards is subject to disclosure under the California Public Records Act. A public comment speaker may only speak once per item. A majority of the City Council (by motion) may elect to increase the time limit by an additional one (1) minute on an item/segment, or decrease the time limit by one (1) minute on an item/segment; provided, however, such a decision must be made by a motion of the City Council prior to the beginning of the segment - i.e., once public comment has begun on an item/segment, the City Council shall not adjust the time limit. All public comment speakers, regardless of whether or not a minute is added to or taken away from the public comment period, shall be afforded the same amount of time to speak. On closed session items, all public comment speakers shall have only three (3) minutes to speak on all items, regardless of the number of items on the closed session agenda.
