BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
City Council directed staff to agendize Fiscal Sustainability Ad Hoc Committee appointments during the November 18, 2025 meeting. The Ad Hoc Committee, formed in 2024, will reconvene to consider tax measures for the November 2026 ballot. Staff request Council Members reaffirm existing direct appointments or make a new appointments to the Committee.
The California Brown Act provisions generally apply to subordinate bodies formed by a legislative body (such as City Council) including noticing and public participation requirements. However, the Brown Act does not apply to a temporary advisory committee formed by the legislative body serving a single purpose and disbanding after completing its work. This allows an ad hoc committee to achieve a single goal in an efficient manner.
City Council previously formed citizen ad hoc committees including the Library Ad Hoc Committee, UP Park Ad Hoc Committee and Water Rate Ad Hoc Committee. Each committee followed different processes for posting agendas and minutes and public participation. None of the committees broadcasted or accommodated remote access to the meetings. The initial Fiscal Sustainability Ad Hoc Committee iteration posted agendas and broadcasted meetings. Staff requests City Council provide direction regarding how to conduct meetings for the reconvened committee so the public and staff understand how the committee will operate.
The Rules of Procedure and Decorum for Board, Commission and Committee Meetings would not apply to this ad hoc committee unless otherwise directed. The Committee would generally follow Robert’s Rules of Order to conduct meetings.
