During the three-minute time period following items not on the agenda, the City Council or staff may briefly respond to comments on items not appearing on the agenda.  After all public speakers have been given an opportunity to speak on an agenda item, the public comment period shall be held open for three minutes to allow additional speakers to register or otherwise be recognized for the purpose of providing public comment. During this three minute time period, the City Council or staff may discuss the item being considered.

In the event of a disruption which prevents a legislative body of the City of Oxnard from broadcasting a meeting using a call-in option or internet-based service option, or in the event of a disruption within the City’s control which prevents members of the public from offering public comment using the call-in option or internet-based service option, the legislative body shall take no further action on items appearing on a meeting agenda until public access to the meeting via the call-in option or internet-based service option is restored. However, if any of the broadcast options are disrupted, but any of the other broadcast options is still available to the public, the legislative body may take further action on items appearing on a meeting agenda without waiting for the disrupted broadcast option(s) to be restored.
