(California Government Code Section 54954.3; Council Policy 0-37) Fill out a Yellow Speaker’s Card and submit it to boxes at the bottom of the Chambers. Do this before the meeting or before the item is heard.

You may remain anonymous, but please fill out a card so we may call you. You can put “anonymous speaker” or “no name” on the card.
