I, Mayor Jill Techel, hereby call a special meeting of the City Council of the City of Napa at the date, time, and place identified above, for the purpose identified on this Agenda. This Special Meeting is called in accordance with California Government Code section 54956.

5.   REPORT OF ACTION TAKEN IN CLOSED SESSION:

6.                    PUBLIC COMMENTS:  Public comment provides an opportunity for members of the public to directly address the Council on items of interest to the public. Each speaker’s comments will be limited to five minutes and will comply with the City’s rules of order for city council meetings. When addressing the City Council, the City requests (but does not require) that you state your name and address to facilitate future notices.  Any information you provide will be made a part of the public record. All comments will be addressed to the Mayor and City Council, and not to members of the audience or city staff. If the subject of the comments is covered under an item on this agenda for which the City Council will separately hear public comments (such as “Consent Hearings” or “Public Hearings”) the member of the public is requested to reserve those comments to the appropriate time on the Agenda. The City is limited by state law (the “Ralph M. Brown Act”) to only briefly responding to comments made during the public comment period. Thus the Mayor may direct a brief response to comments, or may refer an item to staff for response at a later time.

7.   SPECIAL SESSION - ADMINSTRATIVE REPORTS:




 7.A.  Response to Civil Service Commission:

               Discussion and potential action to respond to comments regarding the implementation of the reorganization of the Human Resources Department; and approve the class specification and salary for an interim part time Personnel Director/Civil Service Manager.

The time limit within which to commence any lawsuit or legal challenge to any quasi-adjudicative decision made by the City is governed by Section 1094.6 of the Code of Civil Procedure, unless a shorter limitations period is specified by any other provision. Under Section 1094.6, any lawsuit or legal challenge to any quasi-adjudicative decision made by the City must be filed no later than the 90th day following the date on which such decision becomes final. Any lawsuit or legal challenge, which is not filed within that 90-day period, will be barred.

If a person wishes to challenge the nature of the above actions in court, they may be limited to raising only those issues they or someone else raised at the meeting described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the City of Napa, at or prior to the meeting. In addition, judicial challenge may be limited or barred where the interested party has not sought and exhausted all available administrative remedies.
