Consent Calendar, a Councilmember may ask questions about, or comment on, a Consent calendar item without moving the item from the Consent Calendar. Any Councilmember may pull an item from the Consent Calendar for separate discussion. Members of the public may address the City Council on consent calendar items by following the procedures set forth in Section 11 Public Participation. Speakers are generally limited to three (3) minutes, or as determined by the Mayor. The items on the consent calendar are generally approved by the City Council by a single motion. 9.4 Meeting Open to the Public This portion of the agenda is for City proclamations to recognize significant community events, people, or days. The City Manager, or designee, may develop a policy regarding proclamations as a guide. It is also for the City Council confirmation of appointments to advisory bodies and to administer the oath of office to advisory body members. As authorized by the Mayor or the City Manager, this portion of the agenda is also for other local, regional, or state legislative bodies and elected officials to make brief presentations to the City Council concerning activities of interest to the City. These are ceremonial matters and not action items by the City Council. While the preference is for proclamations to be included in the posted agenda, the desire to recognize a significant community event, person, or day may arise or be discovered after an agenda is posted. In that case, the Mayor may make additional proclamations at a City Council meeting so long as they do not unduly interfere with the City Council's business. This portion of the agenda is also for any member of the public to address the City Council on any item of interest to the public that is within the City Council's subject matter jurisdiction. Speakers are generally limited to three (3) minutes, or as determined by the Mayor. However, to prepare and preserve a proper administrative record, public comments concerning an item listed elsewhere on the agenda should be reserved and addressed to the City Council when that item is called for consideration. The procedures for public comments during the Meeting Open to the Public are set forth in Section 11 Public Participation. 9.5 Public Hearings and Other Matters The public hearing and other matters portion of the agenda is reserved for items that require, by statute or practice, a noticed public hearing for action.

This portion of the agenda is also for items for City Council discussion and action that do not require formal statutory notice and hearing. The procedures for public hearings and other matters are as follows: 13
