The public has the opportunity to comment during the public comment period at the
beginning of every regular Council meeting. At this time people may speak for up to
five minutes on any topic that is not on the agenda. The Mayor may limit public
comments to no more than three minutes if it appears there will be many comments on
a similar topic. The public comment period is a time for the Council to listen to the
people. Council generally should not engage in a two-way conversation at this time
