REGULAR MEETING AGENDA December 19, 2023
PUBLIC COMMENT:
During each regular meeting, the public may directly address the City Council on any matter within the Council ’s subject
matter jurisdiction, including any matter that is not on the agenda. However, State law strictly limits the Council'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 City Council.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS:
Items on the Administrative Reports portion of the agenda will include a staff report and an opportunity for the public to
address the City Council, but they do not require a formal public hearing prior to City Council taking the identified action.
CONSENT HEARINGS:
Items on the Consent Hearing portion of the agenda are considered routine and may be approved by a single vote of the
City Council; however, any member of the public or City Council may remove an item for consideration during the
Public Hearing portion of the agenda.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
During any public hearing (which includes any appeal hearing), an opportunity will be provided for public testimony
when any person may directly address the City Council. 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 Mayor under the Procedures to Directly Address
the City Council (above).
CLOSED SESSION:
The City Council 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 City Council, 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 CITY COUNCIL:
If a person wishes to file a legal challenge to any decision made by the City Council, 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 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
City Council 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 City Council must be filed no later than the 90th day following the date on which such decision
becomes final.
