CALL TO ORDER: Mayor Lavagnino
ROLL CALL: Councilmembers Orach,
Patino,
1. PROCLAMATIONS/COMMENDATIONS/PRESENTATIONS
A. Proclamation declaring the month of July 2007 as:
in the
City of Santa Maria, and encouraging all citizens to enjoy and recognize the
social, physical, mental, economic, environmental, and community benefits
derived from taking part in the myriad of activities offered through recreation
and leisure programs and services, which provide something of value to
everyone.
1. PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD (NOT TO EXCEED A TOTAL OF 15 MINUTES):
The Council values your input. Individual speakers are limited to three minutes or as directed by the Mayor. To address the Council you are asked to fill out a Request to Speak Form and provide it to City Staff PRIOR TO this part of the agenda. This assists the Clerk in accurately preparing the minutes of the meeting. Once the public comment period commences, no other speakers will be allowed to submit a Request to Speak Form. This time is reserved to accept comments from the public on Consent Agenda items, Closed Session items, or matters not otherwise scheduled on this agenda. Direction to staff may be given; however, State law does not allow action to be taken by the Council on matters not on the printed agenda at this meeting. The law requires that notice be given to the public at large to allow for full disclosure and discussion and decisions on important public issues. To have City Council discussions and decisions on unnoticed items would prevent the type of public input necessary to make governmental decisions.
2. CONSENT CALENDAR:
The following routine items are presented
for City Council approval without discussion as a single agenda item in order
to expedite the meeting. The Consent
Calendar is approved by roll call vote with one motion. These items are discussed only on request of
Councilmembers. Members of the public
may speak on Consent Calendar items during the Public Comment Period.
SHOULD A COUNCILMEMBER WISH TO DISCUSS OR
DISAPPROVE ANY ITEM, it must be dropped from the blanket motion of approval and
considered as a separate item.
