Urgency Items ("Added Starters"): The Brown Act, which governs public meetings, permits the City Council to take action on any item that does not appear on the agenda only if 2/3 of the City Council (if all are present) or all members of the City Council (if fewer than all members are present) determine there is a need to take immediate action on the item, and the need to take immediate action came to the City Council's attention after the agenda was posted.

PUBLIC COMMENTS

At this time, pursuant to the Brown Act, any person may comment on matters of general interest within the subject matter jurisdiction of the City Council, NOT listed on the agenda. Under the Brown Act, the City Council should not take action on or discuss matters raised during Public Comment portion of the agenda that are not listed on the agenda.

Comments are limited to the first ten (10) speakers at three (3) minutes per speaker. Speakers may not yield their time to others without consent of the Mayor. All comments are to be directed to the City Council and shall be devoid of any personal attacks.
