Public Correspondence: (Special Meetings) We highly encourage written materials regarding City Council Agenda items be submitted no later than 4:00 P.M. the day prior to a City Council special meeting to allow the Council Members ample time to review and consider the issues raised prior to making decisions at the Council meeting. Please keep in mind that it is difficult for Council Members to carefully review materials submitted after that deadline or at the meeting. Written materials, including emails, submitted to the City are public records and may be posted on the City’s website. Accordingly, you may wish to omit personal information from your written materials or oral presentation as it may become part of the public record regarding an agendized item. In addition, City meetings may be televised and may be accessed through the City's website. Public Participation: Participants must speak from the podium using the lectern microphone; comments are to be directed to the City Council and not to the staff or the public; repetition should be avoided; and reading a submission that has been copied or contained in the agenda will be discouraged. Public Comments: (Special Meetings) The City Council may limit the public input on any item based on the number of people requesting to speak, the length of the agenda, or the business of the Council. Public Comments at special meetings are limited to only items listed on the agenda. Conduct at the Council Meeting: The Mayor shall order removed from the Council Chambers any person(s) who commit the following acts at a meeting of the City Council: Disorderly, contemptuous or insolent behavior toward the Council or any member thereof, tending to interrupt the due and orderly course of said meeting; a breach of the peace, boisterous conduct or violent disturbance, tending to interrupt the due and orderly course of said meeting; disobedience of any lawful order of the Mayor, which shall include an order to be seated or to refrain from addressing the Council from the audience; any other unlawful interference with the due and orderly course of the meeting. Time Estimates: The time noted next to an agenda item is only an estimate of the amount of time that will be spent during the meeting on that particular item. Accordingly, these estimates should not be relied on in determining when a matter will be heard, especially since agenda items are often re-ordered during a meeting and may be discussed at any time. Continuation of Meeting: The City Council will adjourn its meetings on or before 11:00 p.m. and will not consider new business items after 10:15 p.m., unless the majority of the Council members who are present affirmatively vote either to extend the meeting after 11:00 p.m. or to consider new business after 10:15 p.m. If the meeting ends before all of the items listed on the agenda are completed, any unfinished business will be continued to the next succeeding day that is not a holiday, at a location to be determined. American with Disabilities Act: In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, if you require a disability-related modification or accommodation to attend or participate in this meeting, including auxiliary aids or services, please call the City Clerk’s Office at 310 544-5217 at least 48 hours prior to the meeting. 30940 Hawthorne Boulevard / Rancho Palos Verdes, CA 90275-5391 / (310) 544-5208 / Fax (310) 544-5291 www.rpvca.gov STATE OF CALIFORNIA ) COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES ) ss CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES) AFFIDAVIT OF GIVING NOTICE OF A SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING I, Emily Colborn, City Clerk, hereby certify that the Notice and Call of a Special Meeting of the Rancho Palos Verdes City Council, a copy of which is attached hereto, was given by email to each member of the City Council and was also sent by email to each newspaper of general circulation that has requested such notice in writing on October 1, 2018, before 5:30 P.M.
