GETTING TO KNOW YOUR AGENDA AGENDA SECTIONS Consent Calendar items are routine items that are not expected to prompt discussion. All items are considered for approval at the same time with one vote. Before the vote, there is no separate discussion of these items unless a member of the City Council or staff removes the item from the Consent Calendar. Public Comment provides an opportunity to address the City Council on any matter not listed on the agenda that is within the jurisdiction of the City Council. Under the Brown Act, the City Council cannot take action on matters not listed on the agenda. Public Hearings are held on matters specifically required by law. Action Items are items expected to cause discussion and/or action by the City Council but do not legally require a public hearing. Closed Session may only be attended by members of the City Council, support staff, legal counsel, and others as specified on the agenda. Closed session may be held only in very limited circumstances as authorized by law. CITY COUNCIL ACTIONS: Resolutions are formal expressions of opinion or intention of the City Council and are usually effective immediately. Ordinances are laws adopted by the City Council. Ordinances usually amend, repeal, or supplement the Municipal Code; provide zoning specifications; or appropriate money for specific purposes. Most ordinances require two hearings and go into effect 30 days after the final approval. Proclamations are issued by the City to honor significant achievements by community members, highlight an event, promote awareness of community issues, and recognize City employees.1.CALL TO ORDER Public Comments: 2.ROLL CALL Public Comments: 3.PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG AND MOMENT OF SILENCE Public Comments: 4.SPECIAL ORDERS OF THE DAY Public Comments: 4.1Oaths of Office Public Comments: Cultural Arts Commission- Sanja Jing- Giancarlo Ruiz Housing and Homelessness Advisory Commission- Gerardo Contreras Parks and Recreation Commission- Johnnie Welborne III Privacy Protection and Technology Advisory Commission- Richard Pulido5.PUBLIC COMMENTS Attachments | Public Comments1.Curry - Received 10-10-2024.pdf2.Dambrosia - Received 10-11-2024.pdf3.Franks - Received 10-11-2024.pdf4.Raso - Received 10-11-2024.pdf5.Ward - Received 10-14-2024.pdf6.Curry - Received 10-14-2024.pdf7.Acosta 1 - Received 10-14-2024.pdf8.Acosta 2 - Received 10-14-2024.pdf9.Acosta 3 - Received 10-14-2024.pdfResidentI stand with the mother of Elizabeth Marie Torres that the city has not done enough to help our community members with addiction.
