The City Council conducts its meetings in accordance with the requirements of state law (the "Ralph M. Brown Act,"
California Government Code Sections 54950, et seq.) and the City's Rules of Order (Council Policy Resolution 19, R2016-6).
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 CITY COUNCIL:
Any member of the public may directly address the Council regarding any matter identified on the agenda. Regular
meeting agendas will include an agenda item for "Public Comment". Each speaker is requested to submit a speaker card or
request to speak before the item is called to be addressed by Council (for Public Comment, Consent Calendar,
Administrative Reports, Consent Hearings, 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 otherwise makes a clear and timely request to
address the Council. Information on Speaker cards is subject to public disclosure under the California Public Records Act.
Speakers should direct comments to Mayor and Councilmembers, 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 and appeals, or at the discretion of the Mayor or City Council to
address special circumstances. The Mayor 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:
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:

REGULAR MEETING AGENDA October 1, 2024
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.
