The Department of Emergency Management will take public comment (two minutes per speaker) on all items appearing on the agenda at the time the item is heard and, if applicable, prior to the Department taking any action on an item.  The Department will also take public comment (two minutes per speaker) on matters not on the agenda, but within the jurisdiction of the Department during the “General Public Comment” portion of the meeting.

Government’s duty is to serve the public, reaching its decisions in full view of the public.  Commissions, boards, councils and other agencies of the City and County exist to conduct the people’s business.  The Sunshine Ordinance assures that deliberations are conducted before the people and that City operations are open to the people’s review.
