PROCEDURES FOR ADDRESSING THE COMMISSION
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS FOR MATTERS NOT ON THE AGENDA: Thirty (30)
minutes are set aside at each meeting for citizens who wish to address an issue not on
the agenda. The purpose of oral communications is to bring to the attention of the
Planning Commission a matter or matters which do not appear on the
agenda. Remarks shall be addressed to Planning Commission as a body and not to
any member of the Planning Commission, staff or the public. State law prohibits
Commission action on non - agenda items because the public would be unaware prior to
the meeting of any potential action. If needed, Oral Communication items will be
referred to the Planning and Building Department either for resolution by administrative
action or placement on a future agenda by the Mayor /Chair or at the request of at least
two Planning Commissioners. Each speaker is allowed three (3) minutes to address
the Planning Commission. Time donations are not permitted during Oral
Communications. Please submit a "WHITE" speaker slip to the secretary. Speaker
Slips will be accepted no earlier than 30 minutes before the start of the meeting.
CONSENT CALENDAR ITEMS: Those matters which are considered routine by the
Secretary shall be initially placed on the Consent Calendar. Before adopting the
Consent Calendar, the Chair will ask members of the public and members of the
Planning Commission whether anyone wishes to add an agenda item to the Consent
Calendar or to remove a matter from the Consent Calendar. Any member of the public
may remove an item from the Consent Calendar by submitting a "PINK' speaker slip to
the Commission Secretary. The Planning Commission will then proceed with
consideration of the remaining Consent Calendar. The Consent Calendar will be
enacted upon with one motion, and the ordinances being read by title will be
waived. There will be no separate discussion of these matters. Items pulled from the
Consent Calendar will be considered immediately following adoption of the remaining
Consent Calendar, and staff reports will only be given if requested by the person who
pulled the item. Each speaker is allowed three (3) minutes to address the Planning
Commission. A maximum of two time donations per speaker is allowed (no more than 9
minutes total). Please submit a "PINK" speaker slip to the Commission Secretary.
Speaker Slips will be accepted no earlier than 30 minutes before the start of the
meeting.
REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS: To speak on items listed on the agenda (other than Oral
Communications), please submit a "PINK" speaker slip to the Commission Secretary.
In addition, a person in attendance who wishes to register support or opposition to a
recommended action without speaking may do so by completing a "PINK' speaker slip
and checking the appropriate box and the box "but do not wish to speak ". Each speaker
is allowed three (3) minutes to address the Planning Commission. A maximum of two
time donations per speaker is allowed (no more than 9 minutes total); the person
donating time must be present. Speaker Slips will be accepted no earlier than 30
minutes before the start of the meeting.
