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

policy for harassment, discrimination, and retaliation in compliance with new
