Pursuant to the City Council Meeting Rules adopted by Resolution No. 24076,  
members of all Boards and Commissions and the public are reminded that they must  
preserve order and decorum throughout the meeting. In that regard, members of all  
Boards and Commissions, as well as the public participants are advised that any  
delay or disruption in the proceedings or a refusal to obey the orders of the City  
Council, Boards and commissions, or their presiding officer constitutes a violation of  
these rules.  
The City of Riverside is committed to fostering a respectful workplace that requires  
all employees and external stakeholders to embrace a culture of transparency and  
inclusivity. This includes acceptable behavior from everyone; a workplace that  
provides dignity, respect, and civility to our employees, customers, and the public  
they serve. City meetings should be a place where all members of our community  
feel safe and comfortable to participate. While there could be a high level of emotion  
associated with topics on this agenda, the City would like to set the expectation that  
all members of the public use language appropriate to a collaborative, professional,  
and respectful public environment.  
The City is resolute in its commitment to eliminate any form of harassment,  
discrimination, or retaliation in the workplace. The City maintains a zero-tolerance
