Please note that the Brown Act does not allow discussion or action on topics that are not on the

While the City Council welcomes public involvement and supports and defends free speech, the

protected free speech. Those comments will not inform nor be considered by the City Council and  
may be cause for the Mayor to interrupt the public speaker. Such public comments will not be  
consented to or otherwise adopted by the City Council in its discussions and findings for any  
matter tonight.  
COUNCIL COMMITTEE APPOINTMENT ANNOUNCEMENTS  
Councilmembers may make brief announcements on any appointments made to a board,  
committee, or commission.  
Councilmembers may not discuss or take any action on these  
announcements. Announcements are limited to 1 minute.  
AB 1234 REPORTING  
Per AB 1234 (Government Code Section 53232.3(d)) Councilmembers who attend a meeting,  
conference, or similar event at the expense of the City must provide a brief report of the meeting,  
conference, or similar event during the next regular City Council meeting. Reports are limited to 1  
minute.

Councilmembers must publicly disclose any meetings or communications with City employee  
associations, related to the negotiations of labor agreements. Disclosures 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.
