AGENDA
CITY HALL, ROOM 15
ORDER OF BUSINESS: Regular meetings of the Finance Committee and the Ordinance
Committee begin at 12:30 p.m. The
regular City Council meeting begins at 2:00 p.m. in the Council Chamber at City
Hall.
REPORTS: Copies of the
reports relating to agenda items are available for review in the City Clerk's
Office, at the Central Library, and http://www.SantaBarbaraCA.gov. In accordance with state law requirements,
this agenda generally contains only a brief general description of each item of
business to be transacted or discussed at the meeting. Should you wish more detailed information
regarding any particular agenda item, you are encouraged to obtain a copy of
the Council Agenda Report (a "CAR") for that item from either the
Clerk's Office, the Reference Desk at the City's Main Library, or online at the
City's website (http://www.SantaBarbaraCA.gov). Materials related to an item on this agenda
submitted to the City Council after distribution of the agenda packet are
available for public inspection in the City Clerk’s Office located at City
Hall,
REQUEST TO SPEAK: A member of
the public may address the City Council regarding any scheduled agenda
item. Any person wishing to address the
City Council should first complete and deliver to the City Administrator/City
Clerk a “Request to Speak” form prior to the time that the item on the agenda
is read by the Deputy City Clerk. The
City Council, upon majority vote, may decline to hear a speaker on the grounds
that the subject matter is beyond their jurisdiction.
PUBLIC COMMENT: At the
beginning of an Ordinance or Finance Committee meeting, any member of the
public who so requests will be provided with a brief opportunity to address the
Committee concerning any item on the Committee's agenda for that meeting. At the beginning of the 2:00 p.m. session of
each regular City Council meeting, and at the beginning of each special City
Council meeting, any member of the public may address the City Council. Should City Council business continue into
the evening session of a regular City Council meeting at 6:00 p.m., the City
Council will allow any member of the public who did not address them during the
2:00 p.m. session to do so. The total
amount of time for public comments will be 15 minutes, and no individual
speaker may speak for more than 1 minute.
CONSENT
CALENDAR: The Consent Calendar is comprised of items that will
not usually require discussion by the City Council. A Consent Calendar item is open for
discussion by the City Council upon request of a Councilmember, City staff, or
member of the public. Items on the
Consent Calendar may be approved by a single motion. Should you wish to comment on an item listed
on the Consent Agenda, after turning in your speaker slip, you should come
forward to speak at the time the Council considers the Consent Calendar.
