A. City Manager
No report.
B. City Attorney
City Attorney Mattas said that an issue had come up relating to the manner in
which the fire district and ad hoc committees are operated. There is a requirement
under the Brown Act that ad hoc committees, generally committees that do not have
notice, are required to be made up solely of members of the legislative body. In the
past, there has been a combination of members of the body and citizens. He
recommended going forward not appointing citizens as members. They can
participate, but they should not be appointed as formal members of an ad hoc
committee. If members of the public and the council are on a committee, then the
meeting would require proper noticing.
