as the public may still attend the meeting in person, the meeting will continue.
In the event a Councilmember is participating remotely under the alternative teleconferencing provisions in the Brown Act
(Government Code Section 54953.8), the Town will stop the meeting if there is any technology disruption consistent with the
Brown Act’s requirements.

This portion of the meeting is reserved for persons wishing to address the City Council on any matter not on the agenda.
Members of the public participating in person are requested to complete a yellow speaker card and submit it to the City Clerk
before addressing the City Council. Members of the public may provide comments via the Zoom platform by using the “raise
hand” feature or, if calling in by phone, by pressing *9 on the telephone keypad. In response, the Town will unmute the
speaker and allow them to speak on any topic for up to three minutes. If there appears to be a large number of speakers,
speaking time may be reduced to no less than 2 minutes, at the discretion of the Mayor. Members of the public are limited to
one comment at this time. State law prohibits the Council from discussing or acting on non-agenda items, and generally limits
the ability of the Council to respond to any public comments made regarding non-agenda items.

This portion of the agenda is for Councilmembers to disclose any conflict of interest related to any item on the agenda. Any
Councilmember who has confirmed a conflict of interest or has reason to believe they have a conflict of interest should
disclose the conflict for the record and abide by the disqualification requirements contained in FPPC regulations.

The Consent Calendar includes routine items which generally do not require discussion. A Councilmember may remove an
item for discussion, and any member of the public may request a Councilmember to remove an item for discussion. The items
