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".

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.

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.

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.
