Members of the Public Addressing the Preservation Commission
Purpose of Public Comment. The City provides opportunities for the public to address the Commission as a whole in order to listen to the public’s opinions regarding non-agendized matters within the subject matter jurisdiction of the City during Regular meetings and regarding items on the Agenda at all other meetings.
• Public comments should not be addressed to individual Members nor to City officials, but rather to the Preservation Commission as a whole regarding City business.
• While the public may speak their opinions on City business, personal attacks on Members and City officials, use of swear words, and signs or displays of disrespect for individuals are discouraged as they impede good
communication with the Commission.
• Consistent with the Brown Act, the public comment periods on the Agenda are not intended to be “Question and Answer” periods or conversations with the Commission and City officials. The limited circumstances under which Members may respond to public comments are set out in Rule 8 D 2 of the Council Rules of Procedure.
• Members of the public with questions concerning Consent Calendar items may contact the staff person on the report prior to the meeting to reduce the need for discussion of Consent Calendar items and to better respond to the public’s questions.
Speaker Time Limits
In the interest of facilitating the Commission’s conduct of the business of the City, the following time limits apply to members of the public (speakers) who wish to address the Commission during the meeting.
• Matters not on the Agenda. Three (3) minutes per speaker.
• Consent Calendar Items. The Consent Calendar is considered a single item, and speakers are therefore subject to the three (3) minute time limit for the entire Consent Calendar. Consent Calendar items can be pulled at a member’s request. Such pulled Consent Calendar items will be considered individually and up to three (3) minutes of public comment per speaker on those items will be permitted.
• Each speaker shall limit his/her remarks to the specified time allotment.
• In the further interest of time, speakers may be asked to limit their comments to new materials and not repeat what a prior speaker said. Organized groups may choose a single spokesperson who may speak for the group but with no increase in time.
