Councilmembers may make brief announcements on any appointments made to a board,

AB 1234 REPORTING  
Per AB 1234 (Government Code Section 53232.3(d)) Councilmembers who attend a meeting,

conference, or similar event during the next regular City Council meeting. Reports are limited to 1  
minute.

and must be made by the next regular City Council Meeting.  
PUBLIC HEARING  
For the benefit of the public, prior to a public hearing item, each member of the City Council will  
disclose any ex parte communications they may have had pertaining to the item. In simple terms,  
public hearings are quasi-judicial proceedings and the information used by the City Council to  
make its decisions should be limited to that which is obtained during the public hearing. Ex parte  
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.  
Individuals wishing to provide a comment on an item scheduled for Public Hearing may do so in  
person by filling out a (GREEN) Request to Speak form delivered to the sergeant at arms. Each  
speaker may have up to 3 minutes unless the volume of speakers warrants reducing the time  
allowance.
