Introduction
Under the Kansas Open Meetings Act (KOMA), the public has the right to observe the meetings of the Salina
City Commission, unless the CityCommission has recessed into a lawfully conducted executive session. The
KOMA does not require the opportunity for public comment –that opportunity is provided at the discretion of the
City Commission, except as required by State law or City ordinance incertain specific circumstances. This
policy outlines the various circumstances under which the City Commission meets and elaborates on the City
Commission’s Rules of Procedure by addressing the rules regarding the time, place, and manner of public
participation in the City Commission meetings from the standpoint of the participating member of the public.
This policy is intended to strike a lawful balance between First Amendment protections and the substantial
public interests of (1) assuring that meetings of the City Commission can occur in an efficient, orderly, and safe
manner and (2) promoting productive public discourse regarding the governance and administration of the City
while maintaining decorum in an environment free from interference, distraction, or intimidation, whether real or
perceived, by any person present in the meeting room toward Commissioners or members of the public.
Submission of Written Information
Written information may be submitted to the City Clerk prior to a City Commission meeting for distribution to
Commissioners and key staff members or may be presented during the meeting upon recognition by the Mayor
as a speaker in the manner described below. Ten (10) copies should be provided to insure that all applicable
parties are able to receive and review the information provided.
Citizen Forum
Citizen Forum provides an opportunity for Salina citizens to address the City Commission on a topic which is not
on the meeting agenda. After the Mayor announces Citizen Forum, any citizen wishing to address the City
Commission should, in turn, approach the podium to be recognized by the Mayor. Upon recognition by the
Mayor, the speaker must indicate his or her name and city of residenceand may address the City Commission
for no longer thanthe allowed time period which is typically five (5) minutes but may be altered and announced
by the Mayor based upon the number of persons expected to speak during the Citizen Forum. While addressing
the City Commission, the speaker may request permissionfrom the Mayor to distribute any written information
to Commissioners, the City Manager, and the City Clerk. The City Commission is not expected to take
immediate action in response to the presentation. At the discretion of the City Commission, subjects introduced
under Citizen Forum may be referred to City staff for follow-up or may become an agenda item for a future
meeting. A speaker should not expect to engage in two-way dialogue with the City Commission. A speaker
shouldprovide his or hercomments for commissioners’consideration at their discretion.
Consent Agenda
The Consent Agenda assembles routine action items for collective approval in the interest of efficiency of the
meeting. Any item may be removed from the Consent Agenda for separate consideration either (a) at the
request of a Commissioner or City staff, or (b) by majority vote of the City Commission upon request by a Salina
resident directed to City staff or a Commissioner either prior to the start of the meeting or during Citizen Forum
without discussion.
Public Hearings and Regular Agenda Items
Following introduction of any public hearing or regular agenda item, consideration of the item will ordinarily
begin with a staff report followed by Commissioners’ questions of staff. If the matter involves an applicant, the
applicant or the applicant’s representative will be given the opportunity to address the City Commission.
Inthe case of a public hearing, the public hearing shall be conducted in the manner required by State law or
Salina ordinance and any person entitled to address the City Commission shall be provided that opportunity,
regardless of his or her viewpoint on the matter, subject to the allowed time period.In the case of a regular
agenda item, subject to the discretion of theCity Commission, any interested persons wishing to address the
City Commission regarding the subject of the agenda item, regardless of his or her viewpoint on the matter, may
be given the opportunity do so, subject to the allowed time period.In the caseof either a public hearing or
regular agenda item, those allowed to address the City Commission may do so by, in turn, approaching the
podium to be recognized by the mayor.
Public Hearings and Regular Agenda Items, Cont’d.
Upon recognition by the Mayor, the speaker must indicate his or her name and city of residenceand may
address the subject of the agenda item for no longer than the allowed time period which is typically three (3)
minutes but may be altered and announced by the Mayor based upon the number of persons expected to speak
during the public hearing or regular agenda item. While addressing the City Commission, the speaker may
request permission from the Mayor to distribute any written information regarding the subject of the agenda item
to City Commissioners, the City Manager, and the City Clerk. The speaker should avoid repeating what has
already been said and should feel free to simply state whether he or she is or is not in support of the matter
being discussed. A speaker should not expect to engage in two-way dialogue with the City Commission. A
speaker shouldprovide his or hercomments for commissioners’consideration at their discretion.
Executive Session
The Kansas Open Meetings Act allows the City Commission to recess into an executive session based upon
certain justifications outlined in the act. The City Commission may recess into executive session based upon a
motion that includes (1) a statement describing the subjects to be discussed during the executive session, (2)
the statutory justification for the executive session, and (3) the time and place at which the open meeting shall
resume. Executive sessions are closed to the public, however, when conducting an executive session, the City
Commission will recess to another location so that members of the public attending the open meeting will be
allowed to remain in the meeting room.
Study Session
The City Commission may meet in study session on topics determined by the City Manager or the City
Commission on a specific date and time. As the name suggests, the study session is intended to provide a less
formal opportunity for the City Commission to study, discuss, and provide direction to City staff regarding the
subject under study. Study sessions are open to the public, however, the extent of public participation is subject
to the discretion of the City Commission based upon available time during the study session and the need for
public input in order to accomplish the objectives of the City Commission in studying the subject of the study
session.
Special Limited Public Forum
A special limited public forum may be called by the City Commission for the purposes of (a) conducting public
discussion and (b) seeking public comment and/or the submission of written information regardinga particular
subject matter. A special limited public forum may be convened in the City Commission’s regular meeting room
or at an alternative, publicly accessible site suitable for the anticipated number of participants in the forum. At
the appointed time on the agenda, any persons wishing to address the City Commission regarding the subject
of the special limited public forum, regardless of their viewpoint on the matter, may do so by, in turn,
approaching the podium or microphone to be recognized by theMayor. Upon recognition by the Mayor, the
speaker must indicate his or her name and city of residenceand may address the subject of the special limited
public forum for no longer than the allowed time period determined and announced by the mayor based upon
the number of persons expected to speak during the forum. While addressing the City Commission, the speaker
