Next City Council Mtg on Thursday May 7 at 7pm

---

The next City Council meeting agenda doesn’t specify whether the protocol will be the same as in April; one can only assume that social distancing will be maintained in Council Chambers, the meeting will be streamed with minimum staff present and some of the Council attending via video conference. The agenda is a light one.

(In order to watch the meeting live or any past meeting as an archived video, one can always go to  Livestream.)

• Resolution 31, 2020: Amending the Procedures for Quasi-Judicial Hearings and Ex Parte Disclosures. Background: The City Council is required by law to conduct certain development petition public hearings quasi-judicially. These hearings require the City Council to base its decision on the evidence contained in the record of the proceeding, which consists of the testimony adduced at the hearing and on the material contained in the official file of the City. Procedures have been developed to ensure that the City Council quasi-judicial hearings are conducted in accordance with the law. The City Council has determined that it is appropriate to incorporate additional disclosure requirements into the review process preceding a quasi-judicial public hearing. See Attachment A in the resolution for changes to the procedures.
