Eureka Police Department Homeless Survey C. Board & Commission Reports D. Public Comment This is the time for members of the public who wish to be heard on matters that do not appear on the Agenda. City Council policy is to limit each speaker to three (3) minutes. Such time allotment or portion thereof shall not be transferred to other speakers. The public will be allowed to speak concurrently with the calling of an agenda item following the staff presentation of that item. Pursuant to the Brown Act, the City Council may not take action on an item that does not appear on the Agenda. TIME ALLOTMENT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS: A maximum of thirty (30) minutes shall be allotted to receiving public comments at the initial public comment period. If necessary, an additional period shall be allotted to public comments after City Manager Reports, but only if the first 30-minute Public Comment period was not sufficient to allow all those who wished to speak to do so. The public will be allowed to speak concurrently with the calling of an agenda item following the staff presentation of that item. At the time an item is considered, the Mayor will ask those attending the meeting in person to line up on both sides of the Council Chamber or raise their hands, and for remote participants to use *9 on the telephone or the "raise hand" function in Zoom, if they wish to address the City Council. The maximum amount of time for each person to speak and the total amount of time allotted for each item will be determined based on the number of people indicating an interest in speaking and the amount of business to be conducted on the agenda. In certain circumstances and when necessary to ensure a full opportunity for public input, the Mayor may adjust the amount of time allowed for public input and/or the time allotted for each speaker.
