April 27, Eastvale Town Hall featuring City Council Candidate Forum

The next Eastvale Town Hall meeting will be on Tuesday, April 27, 6:00pm in the theater at Eleanor Roosevelt High School.
Please share this info with your neighbors and remind them that the meeting is at Roosevelt and not at its usual location.

Candidate Introductions and Opening Statements
The first half-hour of the meeting will have some quick community updates and then will move on to introductions and opening statements from the candidates running for city council (1 minute each). This portion of the meeting will be facilitated by Supervisor John Tavaglione.

Question Submission
From 6:00pm thru the candidate statements (approximately 7:00pm), the public can write their questions on index cards that will be provided at the event. Unless addressed to an individual, all questions will be placed in a raffle drum for random drawing during the event. Please feel free to make your questions strong, tough, and constructive. Questions will not be pre-screened, however, please be aware that any questions deemed to be mean spirited or intentionally demeaning toward any candidates will not be allowed (at the descretion of Supervisor Tavaglione).

Questions And Answers - All Candidates
The candidate forum will begin at approximately 7:00pm.
- Because of time constraints and the desire to address as many questions as possible, all candidates will not be addressing all questions.
- Questions addressed to all candidates will be in the raffle drum for random drawing.
- The names of candidates will be placed in a bowl for random drawing.

A round of questioning will proceed as follows:

- Three candidate names will be randomly drawn and read from the bowl by the facilitator (these names will be set aside for the remainder of the round)
- One question will be drawn and read by the facilitator
- The three candidates will respond in the order of the draw
- Each candidate will have 1-1/2 minutes to respond to the question
(a timer will be visible to all candidates)

The above steps will be repeated until all attending candidates have had an opportunity to respond to a question. At that time, all names will be put back in the bowl for the next round of questions which will follow the same procedure and be repeated for a total of at least 3 rounds. Estimated time for each round is 25-30 minutes.

Questions And Answers - Individual Candidates
After the three rounds of questions addressed to all candidates there will be a 30-minute Q&A session for the questions submitted by the public to individual candidates. Questions addressed to individual candidates will be placed in a separate container to be randomly drawn by Supervisor Tavaglione. There will be time for about 15 individual questions. It is unknown whether all candidates will have a question addressed to them and because of the random draw and time constraints, it is also unknown whether all candidates will have an opportunity to be asked an individual question.

Closing Statements
The final portion of the forum will give the candidates an opportunity for a 1-minute closing statement.
