Public
Correspondence:
We highly encourage written materials regarding City Council Agenda items be submitted no later than
4:00 P.M. the Monday prior to a City Council 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: 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.
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.
Closed Session Please be advised that, pursuant to the Ralph M. Brown Act, “a person may not disclose confidential
information that has been acquired by being present in a Closed Session . . . to a person not entitled to
receive it, unless the legislative body authorizes disclosure of that confidential information.” (Gov. Code
§ 54963(a).) “[C]onfidential information’ means a communication made in a Closed Session that is
specifically related to the basis for the legislative body of a local agency to meet[] lawfully in Closed
Session . . . .” (Gov. Code § 54963(a).)
Please be further advised that any “[v]iolation of [Government Code § 54963] may be addressed by the
use of such remedies as are currently available by law, including, but not limited to: (1) injunctive relief to
prevent the disclosure of confidential information prohibited by this section; (2) disciplinary action against
an [public or city official] who has willfully disclosed confidential information in violation of this section; (3)
referral of a member of a legislative body who has willfully disclosed confidential information in violation of
this section to a grand jury.” (Gov. Code § 54963(c).)
