(Council Policy Resolution 10, R2016-5). Members of the public are expected to conduct themselves with
courtesy and respect and comply with the Rules of Order.
PROCEDURES TO DIRECTLY ADDRESS THE PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY:
Any member of the public may directly address the Public Financing Authority regarding: ( a) any matter
identified on the agenda; or (b) during the Public Comment portion of the meeting for any matter within the
Public Financing Authority’s subject matter jurisdiction that is not identified on the agenda. Each speaker is
requested to submit a speaker card or request to speak before the item is called to be addressed by Authority
Members (for Public Comment, Consent Calendar, Administrative Reports, or Public Hearings). Speaker cards
are used to promote efficient and orderly progress of the meeting; however, a card is not required if the speaker

REGULAR MEETING AGENDA October 5, 2021
otherwise makes a clear and timely request to address the Authority Members. Information on Speaker cards
is subject to public disclosure under the California Public Records Act.
Speakers should direct comments to Public Financing Authority, not the audience. Speakers are expected to
yield the floor when the time limit is identified. For each item, speaking time is limited to no more than three
minutes per person, unless otherwise specified for hearings or at the discretion of the Public Financing Authority to
address special circumstances. The Public Financing Authority may modify (increase or decrease) any time
requirements for any speaker, or change the order of the items on the agenda, in accordance with the Rules of
Order in order to facilitate the efficient and fair conduct of the meeting. This may include moving all or a
portion of the Public Comment portion of the agenda to the end of the meeting (see Council Policy Resolution
19, R2016-6 section 6.1.4).
PUBLIC COMMENT:
The public may directly address the Public Financing Authority on any matter within the Public Financing
Authority’s subject matter jurisdiction, including any matter that is not on the agenda. However, State law
strictly limits the Public Financing Authority's authority to respond at the meeting to any matter that is not on
the agenda.
CONSENT CALENDAR:
Items on the Consent Calendar are considered routine and may be approved by a single vote of the Public
Financing Authority.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS:
Items on the Administrative Reports portion of the agenda do not require a public hearing prior to Public Financing
Authority taking the identified action.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
During any public hearing, an opportunity will be provided for public testimony when any person may directly
address the Public Financing Authority. Applicants (or appellants) are allowed 10 minutes to present testimony
at the beginning of the public hearing, and if needed, 5 minutes to present rebuttal at the end of the public
testimony. All other speakers will be limited to times established by the Public Financing Authority under the
Procedures to Directly Address the Public Financing Authority (above).
CLOSED SESSION:
The Public Financing Authority is authorized to meet in closed session, without attendance by the public, on
limited confidential topics such as pending litigation, real property negotiations, or personnel or labor matters.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:
The California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) is the state law that requires the City to evaluate and
document the potential environmental consequences of discretionary decision. (See, California Public
Resources Code Sections 21000 21189.3; and the “CEQA Guidelines” at California Code of Regulations
Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, Sections 15000 15387). For each item that requires a CEQA determination
by Public Financing Authority, there is a reference to that determination on this agenda, and more information
regarding the CEQA analysis is included in the documents that accompany this Agenda. To the extent that
City staff determines that particular items are not subject to CEQA, there will be no indication of a CEQA
action on this Agenda.
CHALLENGES TO DECISIONS MADE BY THE PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY:
If a person wishes to file a legal challenge to any decision made by the Public Financing Authority, you may be
limited to raising only those issues which you or someone else raised during the meeting, or in a written
communication received by the City Clerk prior to or during the meeting. In addition, a legal challenge may be
limited or barred where the interested party has not sought and exhausted all available administrative
remedies. The time limit to commence any legal challenge may be subject to strict timing requirements, and
CITY COUNCIL Page 8 of 9 Printed on 9/30/2021
REGULAR MEETING AGENDA October 5, 2021
failure to comply with applicable timing requirements may result in a legal challenge being barred. Any lawsuit or
legal challenge to any quasi adjudicative decision made by the Public Financing Authority is governed by
Section 1094.6 of the Code of Civil Procedure, unless a shorter limitation period is specified by any other
provision. Under Section 1094.6, any lawsuit or legal challenge to any quasi adjudicative decision made by
Public Financing Authority must be filed no later than the 90th day following the date on which such decision
becomes final.
