Procedure for Addressing the City Council  
The Maricopa City Council values citizen comments and input. 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.

Call to the Public  
The procedures to follow if you address the Council are: Council requests that you  
express your ideas in three minutes or less and refrain from any personal attacks or  
derogatory statements about any City employee, a fellow citizen, or anyone else, whether  
in the audience or not. 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

the agenda.
