Consent Calendar Review
This Review provides an opportunity for Council and citizens to pull items from the
Consent Calendar. Anyone may request an item on this calendar be “pulled” off the
Consent Calendar and considered separately.
o Council-pulled Consent Calendar items will be considered before Discussion
Items.
o Citizen-pulled Consent Calendar items will be considered after Discussion
Items.
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
Individuals may comment regarding items scheduled on the Consent Calendar and items not
specifically scheduled on the agenda. Comments regarding land use projects for which a development
application has been filed should be submitted in the development review process** and not to the
Council.
Those who wish to speak are asked to sign in at the table in the lobby (for recordkeeping
purposes).
All speakers will be asked by the presiding officer to identify themselves by raising their hand,
and then will be asked to move to one of the two lines of speakers (or to a seat nearby, for
those who are not able to stand while waiting).
The presiding officer will determine and announce the length of time allowed for each speaker.
Each speaker will be asked to state his or her name and general address for the record, and to
keep comments brief. Any written comments or materials intended for the Council should be
provided to the City Clerk.
A timer will beep once and the timer light will turn yellow to indicate that 30 seconds of
speaking time remain, and will beep again and turn red when a speaker’s time to speak has
ended.
[**For questions about the development review process or the status of any particular development,
citizens should consult the Development Review Center page on the City’s website at
fcgov.com/developmentreview, or contact the Development Review Center at 221-6750.]
