the City Council, Redevelopment Agency, or Housing Authority Boards at this point by
stepping to the lectern and giving his/her name and address for the record. Remarks
shall be limited to a maximum of three minutes unless additional time is authorized by
the City Council, Redevelopment Agency, or Housing Authority Boards. Because the

discussion with speakers but will instead refer the matter to staff for report and
recommendation at a future City Council, Redevelopment Agency, or Housing Authority
meeting.
