SECTION XII WORK SESSIONS Work Sessions of the City Council are held regularly at 7:00 p.m. on the second Monday of each month, with an additional Work Session scheduled on the 4th Monday, if needed. Those meetings shall take place at a location to be designated by the Council. At Work Sessions, City staff provide reports to the City Council on a variety of items and issues; however, no formal action is taken at Work Session. OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Members of the public are encouraged to attend work sessions. At the beginning of each work session there will be a public comment period. During this period the public will be given the opportunity to comment on any item. Comments are limited to five (5) minutes per speaker. PURPOSE Work Sessions are not intended to constitute a regular meeting of the City Council as defined in the City Charter and they shall be carried on regardless of the number of Council Members in attendance. Normally work sessions will start when at least four (4) members of the Council are present. Except for the procedural motions required by the Brown Act which may be made at a work session (and which are discussed more fully in the section "AMENDED AGENDA"), no formal action shall be taken and no motions shall be offered. The sole purpose of said meetings is to provide background information to members of the Council and to allow Council Members to ask questions and to express personal opinions. AGENDA The City Clerk shall be responsible for preparing an agenda of items for discussion at each work session. The City Clerk is directed to post the agenda in accordance with directions pertaining to the posting of agenda for regular meetings of the City Council. Any item raised by a member of the City Council which was not specifically included on the posted agenda automatically will be referred to staff for placement on an upcoming Council Work Session agenda unless it is time sensitive, in which case it will be placed on a regular agenda.
