For the benefit of the public, prior to a public hearing item, each member of the City Council will

communications, then, means any information obtained outside of a public hearing. In such public

hearing proceedings, the City Council must uphold constitutional and statutory due process rights

of present and non-present parties by disclosing ex parte communications. Ex parte

communications include oral and written information, as well as visual or auditory information

obtained during a site visit.
