disclose any ex parte communications they may have had pertaining to the item. In simple terms,
public hearings are quasi-judicial proceedings and the information used by the City Council to
make its decisions should be limited to that which is obtained during the public hearing. Ex parte
communications, then, means any information obtained outside of a public hearing. In such public
hearing proceedings, the City Council must uphold constitutional and statutory due process rights
of present and non-present parties by disclosing ex parte communications. Ex parte
communications include oral and written information, as well as visual or auditory information
obtained during a site visit.
