    Rules of Decorum

    Rules of Decorum for Public Comment

    Public input and participation are of the utmost importance to the Community Police Advisory Board.  The Board encourages individuals to use this process to bring issues to its attention and to share information relating to public safety. This will allow the Board to be better informed and, therefore, to more effectively make recommendations to the City Council. 

    Rules are needed to maintain order and decorum.  The Rules of Decorum, set forth below, are not intended to limit the content of the speaker’s message, but are instead to ensure that this part of the Agenda is conducted in a civil and orderly manner. 

    1. Each speaker is allocated 3 minutes to speak. The Chairman or presiding officer may, in their discretion, increase or decrease this time allocation.
       
    2. A speaker may not share or relinquish any remaining time they have not used to another speaker.
       
    3. Speakers are only allowed to speak one time during the Public Comment period. 
       
    4. A person may speak only if they have signed up to speak in accordance with the City’s procedures. Speaker substitutions at the meeting are not allowed.
       
    5. Speakers shall refrain from personal attacks and/or threats directed towards City staff or members of the public.
       
    6. Speakers shall be civil and courteous in their language and presentation.   Insults, profanity, use of vulgar language or gestures or other inappropriate behavior are not allowed.
       
    7. Comments, questions, or jeering from the audience are not allowed. Speakers shall likewise not address or respond to members of the audience.
       
    8. Speakers should not expect Council members to comment on or respond to their comments directly during the meeting. Speakers will be contacted by a board member for next steps in the process.
