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 specified on the agenda. Closed session may be held 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.
