Community Interest Items This is a standing item on the agenda of every regular meeting of the City Council.

An “item of community interest” includes the following: • expressions of thanks, congratulations, or condolence; • information regarding holiday schedules; • honorary recognitions of city officials, employees, or other citizens; • reminders about upcoming events sponsored by the city or other entity that is scheduled to be attended by a city official or city employee; and • announcements involving imminent public health and safety threats to the city.
