ATTENDING A MEETING:
When attending a City Commission meeting, please turn off your cell phone or set it on vibrate. Signs will not
be allowed into the building. Citizens attending th e meeting may distribute written information to the
commissioners when recognized by the mayor or written information may be submitted to the city clerk prior to
the meeting for distribution to the commissioners and key staff members.
Individuals have different opinions and the Commission would like to collect those in the most respectful way
possible. Please refrain from clapping or booing before, during or after a person speaks. In addition, we ask
that talking within the audience is kept to a minimu m to allow for the citizens surrounding you the opportunity to
hear the discussions. Individuals that are disruptive will be asked to leave or may be removed from the
meeting.
ORDER OF DISCUSSION
Generally, the order of discussion, after introduction of an item, includes comments and information by staff,
followed by Commission questions or inquiries. The applicant and interested citizens may then speak on the
item. At the close of public discussion, the item will be considered by the Commission and action taken.
ADDRESSING THE COMMISSION
Citizens may address the Commission on items under discussion when recognized by the Mayor. When
addressing the Commission, please move to the podium and clearly state your name and address in the
microphone. If you are representing a group or organization, please provide the name and address as well.
In order to ensure that all persons may have an opportunity to speak, comments will be limited to three minutes.
Keep your remarks brief and do not repeat what has a lready been said. However, feel free to simply state
whether you are or are not in support of the item being discussed.
Do not ask questions of the Commission; provide your comments and factual information only.
CITIZEN FORUM
A citizen desiring to speak on an item which is not on the agenda may do so under Citizen Forum. Discussion
is limited to five minutes and the Commission does not take immediate action. However, items introduced
under Citizen Forum may become agenda items for later meetings or may be referred to City staff for follow-up.
CONSENT AGENDA
The consent agenda is a means to assemble routine action items to be approved collectively for a more efficient
meeting. Any item may be considered separately by request of a commissioner or staff m ember. Any citizen
who would like to ask the governing body to remove any item from the consent agenda can do so by forwarding
their request to staff, the mayor, or a commissioner prior to the start of the meeting. A citizen may also make a
request during the citizen forum portion of the meeting but no discussion of the item can take place at that time.
EXECUTIVE SESSION
The Commission may, at any time, call for an executive session. Executive sessions are used to discuss, in
private, any subject covered under the Kansas Open Meetings Act. Examples of such subjects include
personnel action, legal matters, or purchase of property. The public and the media representatives are informed
of the time and place of these meetings, as well as the general category of discussion, but are not permitted to
attend.
AGENDA INFORMATION
Copies of the agenda are available in the Office of the City Clerk on Thursday afternoon preceding the regular
meetings. Items for the agenda should be submitted to this office prior t o noon the Wednesday preceding a
regularly scheduled Monday meeting. Information regarding the agenda may be obtained from Room 206 in the
City-County Building, located at 300 W. Ash, Salina, KS or visiting our website at www.salina-ks.gov.
