City Council AGENDA AND NOTICE TUESDAY, JANUARY 8, 2019 - 6:30 PM
NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC:
There is a 90-day limit for the filing of a challenge in Superior Court to certain City administrative decisions and orders which
require a hearing by law, the receipt of evidence and the exercise of discretion. The 90-day limit begins on the date the
decision is final (Code of Civil Procedure Section 1094.6). Further, if you challenge an action taken by the City Council in
court, you may be limited, by California law, including but not limited to Government Code Section 65009, to raising only
those issues you or someone else raised in the public hearing, or in written correspondence delivered to the City Council
prior to or at the public hearing. The City Council may be requested to reconsider a decision if the request is made prior to the
next City Council meeting.
The agenda and staff reports may be viewed at the Mountain View Library, 585 Franklin Street, beginning the Thursday
evening before each meeting and at the City Clerk's Office, 500 Castro Street, Third Floor, beginning Friday morning prior to
Tuesday City Council meetings. Agenda materials may also be viewed on the City website at www.mountainview.gov.
Any writings or documents provided to a majority of the City Council regarding any item on this agenda will be made
available for public inspection in the City Clerk's Office during normal business hours and at the Council Chambers at City
Hall, Second Floor, during the meeting.
City Council meetings are broadcast live on Comcast Channel 26 and replayed on Thursday at 6:30 p.m., Saturday at 10:00
a.m., and Sunday at 5:00 p.m. In addition, Council meetings are also webcast live and archived on the City's web site at
www.mountainview.gov.
The Council may consider and act on items listed on the agenda in any order and thus all those interested in an item listed on
the agenda are advised to be present throughout the meeting (see Policy and Procedure A-13). The reading of the full text of
ordinances and resolutions will be waived unless a Councilmember requests otherwise. By policy, no new items of business
will begin after 10:00 p.m. unless an exception is made by vote of the Council.
Pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), if you need special assistance in this meeting, please contact the the
City Clerk's Office at (650) 903-6399. Notification of 48 hours prior to the meeting will enable the City to make reasonable
arrangements to ensure accessibility to this meeting. (28 CFR 35.160 (b) (1))
ADDRESSING THE COUNCIL:
Anyone wishing to address the Council is requested to fill out a blue speaker card and deposit it with the City Clerk or at the
podium. This will assure that your name is accurately recorded in the minutes. If you wish to speak and are not recognized by
the Mayor, please approach the podium prior to completion of discussion on the item. Speakers are allowed up to three
minutes each, and if a large group wishes to express its views, it is more effective to have one spokesperson.
For any agenda item or for Oral Communications from the Public on Nonagenda Items, if there appear to be 15 or more
speakers and the Council may not be able to conclude the scheduled agenda items if speakers were allotted three (3) minutes
each, the Mayor may reduce speaking time to no less than two (2) minutes per speaker unless there is an objection from
Council, in which case majority vote shall decide the issue without debate.
