The City Council, at the beginning of each regular council meeting, schedules a “visitor/citizens forum” to allow any person with business related to city matters to address the council in an appropriate and timely manner. The City Council can take action only on those things posted on the approved agenda but a citizens concern may be addressed by city staff or council action at a later date or time.
