Tonight's meeting is in a hybrid format, which means that we have committee members, city staff and community members, both in person and online. This is a public meeting and it is being recorded. The draft meeting minutes are generally available for review and approval at a consequent meeting. Once an agenda item is called, there will be a brief presentation of the item, followed by any additional comments and clarifications from members of the city staff. Then an opportunity for anyone from the public to speak on that item before we proceed to community discussion and action. The members of the public will be given a maximum of two minutes to speak in order to provide enough time for the discussion and keep the meeting on time . To help maintain an orderly meeting, please address all comments and questions through the chair rather than directly to any of the other speakers or committee members. Each agenda has an opportunity for the public to speak on a matter not on the agenda for a limited amount of time, no more than two minutes at the public participation slash community engagement or standing items to be considered for plac ements on the next agenda.
