Mayor Holcomb urged the council to participate in the retreat program and stated that many times a retreat is needed to get some new concepts and new ideas and find ways to streamline and make government more efficient and more cost effective. City Clerk Clark stated that it is too late to change the agenda because of the posting deadline. She stated that items can be deleted, but items cannot be added because of the requirements for open meetings in the Brown Act. She suggested that Council could set an agenda for any time past 72 hours from today' s agenda. Bob answered starting Temple, Executive Director of Redevelopment Agency, questions regarding the reasons for changing the time of the retreat. City Clerk Clark stated that it was her understanding that the retreat was to begin at 3 p.m. Since the meeting was starting at that time, some type of explanation was needed for the public as to the type of items to be discussed at the retreat. Mayor Holcomb stated that no action will be taken at the retreat. The retreat is just for discussion in hopes of laying the foundation for future action. A discussion ensued regarding the Brown Act effectively dealing with continued council meetings.
