APPROVAL OF AGENDA This is the time for the City Council/Boards of Directors to reorder the agenda, or delete items, or make changes to the Agenda. 6. PUBLIC COMMENTS Public Comment Cards are available near the entrance to the Council Chamber, with instructions on obtaining a speaking number. The public is invited to address City Council Members and Directors regarding any item of business listed on this agenda or within the subject matter jurisdiction of the City. Pursuant to State law, City Council Members cannot take action or express a consensus on any communications that do not appear on the printed agenda. To ensure a productive and respectful environment during City Council meetings, all attendees are asked to conduct themselves with courtesy and professionalism. Please refrain from using profanity, making personal attacks, or engaging in conduct that disrupts or interferes with the orderly progression of the meeting. While the First Amendment protects a broad range of speech, including opinions that some may find offensive, the City may intervene only in cases involving true threats, incitement to violence, or substantial disruption to the proceedings. Courts have consistently ruled that attempts to censor protected speech—even when offensive—can expose cities to costly legal challenges and liability. Such litigation diverts public funds from vital services like public safety, parks, and libraries. For this reason, the City Council urges all speakers to express their views in a manner that is civil and constructive. The City of Whittier is committed to serving all members of the public with respect. While the City does not endorse or condone discriminatory or hateful speech, it must uphold constitutional protections as interpreted by the courts. If any member of the public finds a comment objectionable, they are free to leave the chamber at their discretion. Please be advised: Conduct that materially disrupts the meeting may result in removal, in accordance with Government Code Section 54957.95 and Penal Code 403. Detailed instructions on how to provide public comments are provided on the 7. CITY MANAGER REPORT 8. JOINT CONSENT CALENDAR All items on the Consent Calendar may be approved by a single motion.
