The Mayor may reduce the time limit per speaker depending on the number of speakers. The Brown Act limits the Council’s ability to take and/or discuss items that are not on the agenda; therefore, such items are normally referred to staff for comment or to a future agenda.

The Mayor will announce when the period for public comment is open on each agenda item.
7. CONSENT CALENDAR Consent Calendar items are considered to be routine by the City Council and will be enacted by one motion.
