assessments, code enforcement or other issues that are by State law or City Code subject to a hearing

the issues listed above at the appropriate forum to assure that your comments are given
proper consideration.

approved by one motion. There will be no separate discussion of these items unless a Councilmember,
Staff member, or Citizen so requests, in which case the item will be removed from the consent agenda
and considered in its normal sequence on the agenda.

staff and appointed commissions, committees and boards. Decisions are based on this information, as
well as City policy, practices, input from constituents and a Councilmember's personal judgment.
