AGENDA AVAILABILITY
Council agendas are prepared for each Council meeting and are available to the public in the Office of the

The draft agenda for the night meeting held the second and fourth Thursday of each month is available at 1:00 p.m. on Monday, eight working days prior to the meeting. Draft/action agendas are available on the Internet (E-mail: ci.tampa.fl.us) and are also available by providing the Office of the City Clerk with stamped, self-addressed envelopes for this purpose.

PUBLIC COMMENT
Members of the public may address Council for three minutes regarding any matter on the agenda, except public hearings, during the Agenda Audience section. The speaker shall first identify the item and restrict all comments to matters relevant to that item. Comments not relevant shall be ruled out of order by the Chair and continued irrelevant comments shall result in the speaker being denied further audience time. The public may also address Council for three minutes regarding any matter during the General Audience and Comments from the Floor section. When addressing Council, state your name and address. Please observe the time limit.

PUBLIC HEARING SPEAKER'S WAIVER FORM
Only during public hearings, individuals in the audience may designate a spokesperson to speak on their behalf, thereby relinquishing their speaking time to the designated spokesperson on the public hearing agenda item for which designation was made. A Speaker's Waiver Form must be filled out and signed by individuals in the audience and presented to Council at the time that s/he appears before Council. Speaking time is one minute per name up to a maximum of 10 minutes.

CONSENT AGENDA
The COMMITTEE portion of the agenda is known as the CONSENT Agenda. It is an effective procedure used by Council to handle routine items expeditiously. Each Councilmember is assigned a committee and reviews all items prior to the meeting. Committee items are adopted by one motion unless a member of the public or a Councilmember wishes to address a particular item. In such cases, the item will be pulled from the consent agenda and considered separately.

CANCELLATION OF A NOTICED, SCHEDULED HEARING
There are times when a noticed, scheduled hearing will not be heard due to the petition not being perfected. You may call the Office of the
City Clerk anytime four days prior to the hearing to confirm that the hearing will be held.


SPECIAL DISCUSSION/STANDING COMMITTEE MEETINGS
Special Discussion/Council Standing Committee Meetings are held on an as-needed basis prior to the regular session of Council, in the Mascotte Room. Documentation of these meetings are made by Council staff and are open to the public.

City Clerk after the action agenda(s) has been finalized and printed. Items placed on the Council Calendar are the regular and adjourned scheduled City Council meetings and special meetings such as public hearings, workshops, presentations, items scheduled for a time certain, and any cancelled sessions. Also listed on the Council Calendar are any Standing Committee meetings, Special Discussion meetings or any special meetings that the Council must attend as a group.
