PUBLIC HEARING For the benefit of the public, prior to a public hearing item, each member of the City Council will disclose any ex parte communications they may have had pertaining to the item. In simple terms, public hearings are quasi-judicial proceedings and the information used by the City Council to make its decisions should be limited to that which is obtained during the public hearing. Ex parte communications, then, means any information obtained outside of a public hearing. In such public hearing proceedings, the City Council must uphold constitutional and statutory due process rights of present and non-present parties by disclosing ex parte communications. Ex parte communications include oral and written information, as well as visual or auditory information obtained during a site visit. Individuals wishing to provide a comment on an item scheduled for Public Hearing may do so in person by filling out a Request to Speak form delivered to the City Clerk. All speakers are encouraged, but not required to identify themselves by name. Each speaker may have up to 3 minutes unless the volume of speakers warrants reducing the time allowance.
