ADJOURN <br />The order of business may be changed if deemed appropriate by the Mayor, and Council consensus. <br /> <br />AMENDED AGENDA <br />The Brown Act prohibits the City Council from discussing or taking action on an item not appearing on <br />the posted agenda. The Brown Act provides three specific exceptions in which the Council can act on <br />an item not on the agenda: <br />1. When a majority of the Council decides there is an “emergency situation”. <br />2. When two-thirds of the members present (or all members if less than five members present) <br />determine there is a need for immediate action and the need to take action “came to the <br />attention of the council after the agenda being posted.” This exception does not apply in <br />situations where the Council or staff knew about the need to take immediate action before the <br />agenda was posted. Forgetting a deadline does not count as an unexpected need. DRAFT
