Notes from the CCG - Clerk of Council:

🗣️ If an item is listed on 1st Reading, citizens are welcome to speak on that item during its discussion. There is no need to sign up for the Public Agenda to speak on a 1st Reading item. Speaking during the 1st Reading allows your comments to be heard while Council is actively discussing the item.

📋 The Taxpayer Bill of Rights is not a separate meeting, but rather an item included as part of the overall Council meeting agenda. The Public Hearing for the Taxpayer Bill of Rights has a scheduled time of 6:00 p.m. for evening meetings.

🗣️ If Council is actively discussing another agenda item at 6:00 p.m. when the Taxpayer Bill of Rights Public Hearing is scheduled, that discussion may be paused so the Public Hearing can be addressed. Council can then return to the previous discussion afterward.
