Debbie Trice Mayor Vice Mayor Kathy Kelley Ohlrich Commissioner Jen Ahearn-Koch Commissioner Liz Alpert Commissioner Kyle Battie SPECIAL CITY COMMISSION MEETING OF NOVEMBER 2, 2026 WELCOME to a Special meeting of the City Commission. This Agenda includes all matters scheduled to come before the Commission at this meeting. It is prepared to help you follow the proceedings of the meeting. Your interest is appreciated, and we invite your comments. Input from citizens is important; we need and welcome it. Citizens’ Input Concerning City Topics – Citizens desiring to speak are allowed three (3) minutes. Remember, appearances before the Commission are not a substitute for attempting to resolve your issue(s) through the appropriate administrative channels. Citizens’ Input is to allow citizens the opportunity to present their view on matters concerning City topics but not on items scheduled elsewhere on the Agenda. Questions and answers shall not be permitted. Matters presented to the Commission may be referred by the Mayor, with consensus of the Commission, to the Administration for action and possible follow-up at a future Commission meeting. We expect that citizens have first attempted to speak directly with the City’s Administration. If you wish to address the Commission, you have the option of speaking during the "Citizens' Input" portion of the Agenda or at the time of a particular agenda item. Please fill out a "Request To Speak" Form. These forms are located on the table at the back of the Commission Chambers. Fill out the form completely and place it in the box on the table. Please indicate which option you choose by checking the appropriate box on the "Request to Speak" Form. Agenda Items for which citizens' comments are not permitted are noted in the left margin of the Agenda. In general, these will be items on which a public hearing has previously been held. If you wish to speak on a topic concerning the City that is not on the Agenda, please indicate the subject you wish to discuss on the "Request To Speak" Form. When your name is called, please come to the Commission table and first state your name for the record. Please remember that there is a time limit of three minutes. The City Auditor and Clerk will forward all Request to Speak forms to the Mayor. When the Mayor calls your name, come to the Commission table, and restate your name for the record. We ask that your comments be limited to the subject of the Agenda Item. Remember, we are always happy to listen to your comments; however, this is not intended to be an extended question and answer session. Again, the City Commission thanks you for taking the time to participate in our meeting. DEBBIE TRICE Mayor 1
