Dear Councilmembers:
This letter complies with the rules of he Administrative Code and explains that I am
introducing a resolution to change a co nci rule of procedure. The resolution will be on
an upcoming city council agenda, accor in to whenever the city clerk can schedule it.
The change I am proposing would all r more consistent treatment of citizens who
request to speak before the council. As o know, now our rules say a citizen must report
= to A1 Olson and explain what they want o t lk about and he then refers them to a council
committee. This rule would be o.k. wit m if it were consistently enforced. However, it
seems to me that if the citizen is cons de d a "kook" he or she has the rule enforced
against them. If the citizen is not judge to e a kook, he or she is allowed to speak to the
full council. This does not seem fair to e. It does not seem fair to cable t.v. viewers who
have expressed dissatisfaction with how he ystem is working now. And we had a citizen;
Francis Miller, speak to our Rules and li Committee in disagreement with the current
rules.

So, therefore, I am proposing a res lut on which would require all citizens who want to
speak on a subject of their own choo in to report to the city clerk and make the speaking
request 7 days in advance of the cou cil eeting. The city clerk would then place the item
on the agenda under the miscellane us eading. If the matter is so urgent that it cannot
wait for 7 days to appear on the age d the city council could hear the matter under the
regular procedures of suspending th ru s.
By this change, citizens are given the op ortunity to address the full council in an orderly
and fair manner. Thank you for you c ideration.
Sincerely,
KIKI SONNEN
