All other speakers will be limited to three (3) minutes.

INFORMATIONAL ITEMS:

The Informational Items section of the agenda is a place for City Council and the public to receive general information that does not require action.

CLOSED SESSION:

The City Council is authorized to meet in closed session, without attendance by the public, on limited confidential topics such as pending litigation, real property negotiations, or personnel or labor matters.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

The California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") is the state law that requires the City to evaluate and document the potential environmental consequences of discretionary decision. (See, California Public Resources Code Sections 21000 - 21189.3; and the "CEQA Guidelines" at California Code of Regulations Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, Sections 15000 - 15387). For each item that requires a CEQA determination by City Council, there is a reference to that determination on this agenda, and more information regarding the CEQA analysis is included in the documents that accompany this Agenda. To the extent that City staff determines that particular items are not subject to CEQA, there will be no indication of a CEQA action on this Agenda.

CHALLENGES TO DECISIONS MADE BY THE CITY COUNCIL:

If a person wishes to file a legal challenge to any decision made by the City Council, you may be limited to raising only those issues which you or someone else raised during the meeting, or in a written communication received by the City Clerk prior to or during the meeting. In addition, a legal challenge may be limited or barred where the interested party has not sought and exhausted all available administrative remedies. The time limit to commence any legal challenge may be subject to strict timing requirements, and failure to comply with applicable timing requirements may result in a legal challenge being barred. Any lawsuit or legal challenge to any quasi -adjudicative decision made by the City Council is governed by Section 1094.6 of the Code of Civil Procedure, unless a shorter limitation period is specified by any other provision. Under Section 1094.6, any lawsuit or legal challenge to any quasi-adjudicative decision made by City Council must be filed no later than the 90th day following the date on which such decision becomes final.
