COMMUNITY FORUM. <br />12 <br />13 Dr. Bibi Neuman, resident, noted the City Council approved the agenda this evening without <br />14 allowing for public comment. She stated that it is not aligned with the City’s commitment to <br />15 transparency, servant leadership, and public participation, which are described in the Standing <br />16 Rules. This is not participatory government. The City’s own documents state that public <br />17 decision-making is best served when the public has an opportunity for input before a decision is <br />18 made. The Standing Rules contain internal inconsistencies and conflicting time limits for public <br />19 comment. When resident concerns are denied or bypassed, the rules state that the reasons for this <br />20 fact should be made part of the public record. She is documenting a pattern. She requested that <br />21 future agendas clearly identify which items will be open for public comment and which will not <br />22 before the meeting begins, that the Council avoid blanket approvals of governance-significant <br />23 items without input, and that inconsistencies in the Standing Rules be corrected immediately. <br />24 <br />25 XII.
