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.

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.
