Is it required to state your name and address when coming forward to speak to the Mayor and City Commission meeting?

Robert's Rules doesn't require it. But it's probably not up to Robert's Rules.

When speaking at a city commission meeting, one assumes the city commission meeting rules should be followed.

Check with the commission or its attorney.

Anyone else's.

RONR does not require this, but RONR does not give any rights to non-members anyway. It is entirely up to the group, in this case the Council, to create its own rules about non-member participation.
