permit, or other entitlement for use,” as that term is defined in the Political Reform Act, pending before the City
Council must disclose any campaign contribution over $500 (aggregated) within the preceding 12 months
made by the party, their agent, and those required to be aggregated with their contributions under Gov. Code

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.

specified on the agenda. Closed session may be held in very limited circumstances as authorized by law.
