5.PUBLIC COMMENTS

State law, RCW 42.17A.555, does not allow the use of public facilities to promote or oppose ballot measures.  Promoting or opposing the City’s levy lid lift ballot measure during a council meeting would be use of a public facility in violation of state law.  This includes comments made during the Public Comment section of a Council meeting. The statute, however, does not limit your ability to support or oppose a ballot measure on your own time using your own resources.

The Council will not be accepting online public comments. This portion of the agenda is set aside for the public to address the Council on agenda items or any other topic the Council might have purview or control over. However, the Mayor or Council may not respond to comments from the public. If the comments are of a nature that the Council does not have influence or control over, then the Mayor or presiding officer may request the speaker suspend their comments. The Council may direct staff to follow up on items brought up by the public. Comments are limited to a three (3) minute time limit.
