If you wish to speak on a matter concerning Maricopa city government that is on the agenda, please fill out a speaker card and give it to the City Clerk before the meeting starts. The Mayor will call your name when that portion of the agenda is reached. The Call to the Public portion on the agenda provides citizens an opportunity to identify for the City Council matters of interest or concern related to city government that are not on the printed agenda. Under the provisions of the Arizona Open Meeting Law, the City Council is prohibited from responding to issues that have not been properly noticed. Therefore, the City Council may only listen to citizens who wish to address them on non-agenda items. We regret that the City Council cannot respond beyond thanking you for your comments. City staff will follow-up on your questions via telephone or email, whichever is preferred. A speaker card is not required for this portion of the meeting but it is appreciated. Whenever any group of persons wishes to address the City Council on the same subject matter, it shall be proper for the Mayor to request that a spokesperson be chosen. The City asks that, when your name is called, you come forward to the podium, state your name and then begin speaking. All speakers are expected to observe common standards of decorum and courtesy. Personal attacks, political speeches, or threats of political action are inappropriate in this forum and will be grounds, at the discretion of the Mayor, for ending a speaker's time at the podium. In the event that the meeting is disrupted in any way that the City in its sole discretion deems inappropriate, the City reserves the right to immediately remove the individual(s) from the meeting. Reasons for removing an individual include but are not limited to making offensive remarks or statements, disrespectful statements or actions, and any other action deemed appropriate. All remarks shall be addressed to the City Council as a body and not to staff or the public. No person other than a member of the City Council, the City Manager or the City Attorney and the person having the floor, shall be permitted to enter into any discussion without the permission of the Mayor. Depending on the number of items on the Council agenda and the number of speaker cards submitted, the Mayor may establish shorter time limits for speakers.

The Mayor will limit discussion whenever they deem such an action appropriate to the proper conduct of the meeting. At the conclusion of an open call to the public, individual members of the Council may respond to criticism made by those who have addressed the Council, may ask Staff to review a matter, or may ask that a matter be put on a future agenda. However, members of the Council shall not discuss or take legal action on any matters during an open call to the public unless the matters are properly noticed for discussion and legal action. Finally, a word on decorum at our meetings. Periodically, we may want to applaud a success or show our approval of a comment and occasionally, we may personally disagree with something that is said. However, when we’re hearing input from our City Council and our residents, whether we support their comments or disagree with their comments, please do not applaud or negatively respond to a speaker unless invited to do so by the presiding authority. It is important that every person who addresses the City Council has a right to speak and not be intimidated. 7. Consent Agenda All items on the Consent Agenda are considered to be routine matters and will be enacted by one motion of the Council. There will be no separate discussion of these items unless the Mayor or a Councilmember so requests, in which event the item will be removed from the Consent Agenda and considered in its normal sequence on the agenda.
