5. Adjustments to and/or approval of the DECEMBER 19th, 2005 Meeting agenda – Mayor, City Council and/or City Manager
Special Note: The Council is reminded that it is at this point in the agenda, that items may be specifically requested to be “removed” from either Consent Agenda “A” or “B” … typically, if there are questions or discussion is desired. Otherwise, the concept of the Consent Agenda is that no discussion is deemed necessary and, at least in the case of items listed under Consent Agenda A, a single motion to approve, duly seconded, and followed by a majority vote, will suffice for approval.
6. Consent Agenda “A” (requiring a simple voice vote)
a. Minutes of Council Meetings held on 11/28/05 and 12/5/05 (See Attached) – City Clerk
7. Consent Agenda “B” (requiring a roll call vote)

8. Public Hearings (to schedule or hold)
None at agenda preparation time
9. Guest Presentation(s) and Public Comment Period
Notes on the Comment Period (authorized for use by Council initially at the September 27th, 2004 Regular Meeting): Each speaker, signing up to speak at the meeting, is asked to limit comments to three (3) minutes. Persons who are organizing a group presentation and who wish to speak beyond the three (3) minute limit are requested to make prior arrangements through either the Mayor’s Office (phone: 431-6007 or 431-6011) or the City Clerk’s Office (431-6033). In any event, any citizen wishing to speak during the comment period is asked to sign up with the City Clerk to speak prior to the meeting. A sign up sheet will be provided by the City Clerk. Although the Mayor and Council are interested in hearing all concerns and observations, speakers should not necessarily expect specific Council action or deliberation on subject matter brought up during the public comment section. Topics requiring further investigation will be referred to the appropriate City official, staff member, Council Committee or agency as appropriate and may, if in order, be scheduled for a future meeting agenda. Thank you for your consideration of the Mayor, Council, City Staff and, in particular, other speakers and citizens.
