UNDERSTANDING THE AGENDA

 

Agenda Sections:

CONSENT CALENDAR items are routine items that are not expected to prompt discussion. All items on the Consent Calendar are considered for approval at the same time by with a single vote. Before the vote, the Mayor asks if anyone is interested in removing items for discussion. Councilmembers and staff may request items be removed and members of the public may submit a speaker slip if they wish to comment on an item. Items removed from the Consent Calendar are discussed following the vote on the remaining Consent Calendar items.

 

PUBLIC COMMENT item provides the public with an opportunity to address the Council on any matter within the jurisdiction of the Council but not on the agenda. In compliance with the Brown Act, the Council may not take action on any matter presented that is not on the listed on the agenda. The public can comment on agenda items during the public hearing or public testimony phase before action is taken by the Council on that particular item.

 

PUBLIC HEARINGS are held on matters specifically required by law. The Mayor opens the public hearing and asks for presentations from staff and from the proponent or applicant involved (if applicable) in the matter under discussion. Following questions from the Councilmembers, the Mayor will ask for public testimony. The hearing is closed, and the City Council may discuss and take action on the item.

 

ACTION ITEMS are those items that are expected to cause discussion and/or action by the Council but do not legally require a Public Hearing. Staff may make a presentation and Councilmembers may ask questions of staff and the involved parties before the Mayor invites the public to provide input.

 

CLOSED SESSION may only be attended by members of the Council, support staff, and/or legal counsel. The most common purpose of a Closed Session is to avoid revealing confidential information that may prejudice the legal or negotiating position of the City or compromise privacy interests of employees. Closed sessions may be held only as specifically authorized by law.

 

Council Actions:

RESOLUTIONS are formal expressions of opinion or intention of the Council and usually go into effect on the date of passage.

 

ORDINANCES are laws adopted by the Council. Ordinances usually amend, repeal or supplement the Municipal Code; provide zoning specifications; or appropriate money for specific purposes. Most ordinances require two hearings: an introductory hearing, generally followed by a second hearing at the next regular meeting. Most ordinances go into effect 30 days after the date of final passage.

 

PROCLAMATIONS may be issued by the City to honor significant achievements by a community member, highlight an event taking place in the City, promote awareness of issues affecting the community, and to recognize City employees.
