CITIZENS COMMUNICATIONS

We will now open Citizens Communications, our public comment period where our citizens are heard. In the interest of time and structure, this period is specifically for individuals to address the City Council on issues and items of concern that are not listed on this agenda. There will be no City Council action at this time. Citizens will be provided with the right to speak on posted agenda items, which we will recognize later when those specific items are called. In the interest of protecting the City's network and data security, we cannot accept flash drives or electronic files at the podium. (You do need to upload your digital files to the City Secretary's online form two hours prior to the meeting). Please use hard copies on our overhead projector for the Council to view. Individuals desiring to speak, please line up behind the podium and be ready. This is your time to address your City Council. We only ask that you remain respectful and courteous to everyone in the room. When you reach the podium, please state your name and whether you are a resident of New Braunfels, a non-resident, or live within our ETJ. Thank you.
