Open Forum: All comments are appreciated. If you have any questions, comments or information regarding an item not
on the agenda, please step forward to be recognized by the Mayor during the "Open Forum" item on the agenda. Please
state your name and address for the record.
Public Hearing Items: The City Council wants to assure that citizen comments are received at the proper time and place
to be most effective. In order for some comments to be legally considered by the City Council they must be presented at
a properly noticed public hearing specifically related to a certain issue. This includes comments related to zoning or
subdivision applications, public improvement projects, assessments, code enforcement or other issues that are by State
law or City Code subject to a hearing process. You may be advised by the City Council and/or the City Attorney to
present comments related to the issues listed above at the appropriate forum to assure that your comments are given
proper consideration.
Consent Agenda Items: Are considered to be routine and non -controversial by the Council and will be 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.
Information: The City Council has been provided background information for agenda items in advance by 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.
Note: The City Council members and/or City staff may gather at the Rockwoods Bar and Grill, 9100 Quaday Avenue, NE,
following the meeting for a purely social event. All members of the public are welcome.
The next regular City Council Meeting will be held on Monday, October 10, 2011, 7:00 PM at
