Addressing the Council<br />
The Council encourages citizens <strong>to</strong> participate in the Council meetings and provides<br />
several opportunities for them <strong>to</strong> do so. Citizens may address the Council during<br />
public hearings or at the end <strong>of</strong> Council meetings.<br />
Public hearings are held on matters such as zoning decisions, annexations,<br />
dilapidated buildings, the annual budget, rate and fee schedules, service policies and<br />
ordinances. The Mayor will invite comments during the hearing.<br />
Citizens may address the Council on individual concerns at the end <strong>of</strong> the Council<br />
meeting during “Citizens <strong>to</strong> be Heard.” Citizens not listed on the agenda <strong>to</strong> speak<br />
should complete a “Request <strong>to</strong> be Heard” form located outside the Council Chamber.<br />
The Mayor will call citizens <strong>to</strong> the podium <strong>to</strong> speak. Remarks should be limited <strong>to</strong><br />
three minutes.<br />
Citizens who wish <strong>to</strong> schedule an appearance before the Council should contact the<br />
<strong>City</strong> Clerk’s Office, 297-2397, before 4 p.m. Tuesday a week before the meeting.<br />
The citizen’s name and <strong>to</strong>pic will be listed on the Council agenda.<br />
Names and biographies <strong>of</strong> current Council members can be found at<br />
