City Council Meeting Procedures (continued from page 1)
Written Materials
Written materials related to the agenda that are submitted to the City Council after the agenda packet has been
published will be available for review prior to the meeting during normal business hours at the City Clerk's office, 1200
Carlsbad Village Drive and on the city website. To review these materials during the meeting, please see the City Clerk
Visual Materials
Visual materials, such as pictures, charts, maps or slides, are allowed for comments on agenda items, not general public
comment. Please contact the City Manager's Office at 760-434-2820 or manager@carlsbadca.gov to make
arrangements in advance. All materials must be received by the City Manager's Office no later than noon the day
before the meeting. The time spent presenting visual materials is included in the maximum time limit provided to
speakers. All materials exhibited to the City Council during the meeting are part of the public record. Please note that
video presentations are not allowed.
Decorum
All participants are expected to conduct themselves with mutual respect. Loud, boisterous and unruly behavior can
interfere with the ability of the City Council to conduct the people's business. That's why it is illegal to disrupt a City
Council meeting. Following a warning from the presiding officer, those engaging in disruptive behavior are subject to
law enforcement action.
City Council Agenda
The City Council follows a regular order of business that is specified in the Carlsbad Municipal Code. The City Council
may only make decisions about topics listed on the agenda.
Presentations
The City Council often recognizes individuals and groups for achievements and contributions to the community. Well-
wishers often fill the chamber during presentations to show their support and perhaps get a photo. If you don't see an
open seat when you arrive, there will likely be one once the presentations are over.
Consent Items
Consent items are considered routine and may be enacted together by one motion and vote. Any City Council member
may remove or "pull" an item from the "consent calendar" for a separate vote. Members of the public may pull an item
from the consent calendar by requesting to speak about that item. A speaker request form must be submitted to the
clerk prior to the start of the consent portion of the agenda.
Public Comment
April 20, 2021 Page 5
Members of the public may speak on any city related item that does not appear on the agenda. State law prohibits the
City Council from taking action on items not listed on the agenda. Comments requiring follow up will be referred to
staff and, if appropriate, considered at a future City Council meeting. Members of the public are also welcome to
provide comments on agenda items during the portions of the meeting when those items are being discussed. In both
cases, a request to speak form must be submitted to the clerk in advance of that portion of the meeting beginning.
Public Hearing
Certain actions by the City Council require a "public hearing," which is a time within the regular meeting that has been
set aside and noticed according to different rules.
Departmental Reports
This part of the agenda is for items that are not considered routine and do not require a public hearing. These items are
usually presented to the City Council by city staff and can be informational in nature or require action. The staff report
about each item indicates the purpose of the item and whether or not action is requested.
Other Reports
At the end of each meeting, City Council members and the city manager, city attorney and city clerk are given an
opportunity to share information. This usually includes reports about recent meetings, regional issues, and recent or
upcoming meetings and events.
City Council Actions
Resolution
A resolution is an official statement of City Council policy that directs administrative or legal action or embodies a
public City Council statement. A resolution may be introduced and adopted at the same meeting. Once adopted, it
remains City Council policy until changed by subsequent City Council resolution.
Ordinance
Ordinances are city laws contained in the Carlsbad Municipal Code. Enacting a new city law or changing an existing one
is a two-step process. First, the ordinance is "introduced" by city staff to the City Council. If the City Council votes in
favor of the introduction, the ordinance will be placed on a subsequent City Council meeting agenda for "adoption." If
the City Council votes to adopt the ordinance, it will usually go into effect 30 days later.
Motion
A motion is used to propose City Council direction related to an item on the agenda. Any City Council member may
make a motion. A motion must receive a "second" from another City Council member to be eligible for a City Council
vote.
