City Council Presentations

We now have in place a system to deliver PowerPoint Presentations at City Council chambers.  Simply follow the instructions below and email the presentation via the link. 

Please note that PowerPoint Presentations for broadcast require special considerations when being developed.  Please review all of the links associated with this page to obtain helpful tips.  Also the following steps must be used for scheduling a presentation.

• For presentations at a City Council meeting, you must:
  •  Inform the Council Chair and obtain approval for scheduling a presentation. (274-7072)
  • Email the presentation to at least 24 hours prior to the presentation, which will allow the presentation to be loaded into the display systems.
  • Contact the Cable Office prior to the day of the presentation in the event Cable staff has questions. (274-8217)
  • Arrive early the day of the presentation to review any needed instructions. 
• For other presentations at Council Chambers, you must:

Items requiring more time for discussion and deliberation shall be scheduled as workshops."

Approval by vote of Council is required if the PowerPoint presentation will exceed the established limit of five (5) minutes.
• Please inform the City Clerk of a pending PowerPoint presentation being made by members of City Staff.
• E-mail the presentation to at least 24 hours prior to the presentation. This will allow the presentation to be loaded into the display systems.
