Hagen Brody Mayor Vice Mayor Erik Arroyo Commissioner Jen Ahearn-Koch Commissioner Liz Alpert Commissioner Kyle Battie REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING OF JULY 19, 2021 WELCOME to a Regular 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. If you wish to address the Commission, please fill out a "Request To Speak" Form located on the table at the back of the Commission Chambers. Fill out the form completely, indicating the Agenda Item to which you intend to speak, and place the form in the box on the table. If you intend to speak under Citizens’ Input Concerning City Topics, the subject should also be noted on the "Request To Speak" Form. Agenda Items for which citizens' comments are not permitted are noted. In general, these will be items on which a public hearing has previously been held. Listed below are the time limits established for speaking: Public Hearings - Quasi-judicial: A reasonable amount of time to be determined by the City Commission will be provided to Applicants and Affected Persons desiring to speak. Public Hearings - Legislative: Citizens desiring to speak are allowed five (5) minutes.

We will ask you to take an oath that all evidence and testimony presented during the public hearing are truthful. 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. Other Agenda Items permitting citizens’ comment - Citizens desiring to speak are allowed three (3) minutes. Agenda items for which citizens’ comments are not permitted are noted in the left margin of the Agenda. 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. HAGEN BRODY Mayor 1
