The Mission of the Yountville Town Council is to direct the growth and welfare of the community while fostering open communication and involvement.

Submission and Availability of Information:  The Town encourages submission of written comments relevant to Council agenda items at least one day before the meeting where the item will be discussed. The submission of written comments allows the Council more time to consider the matter and, in situations of significant public interest, may enable the Council to consider a greater amount of input than if comments are presented orally at the meeting. Written comments submitted to Town Hall at least one day prior to a meeting will be delivered to each Council Member before the meeting. Before the meeting, the public may review available information at Town Hall.

Closed Sessions: The Town Council will convene in Open Session at the stated time, but will then adjourn to any Closed Sessions listed on the agenda. The Council will reconvene in Open Session at 6:00 p.m.  If necessary, the Council may reconvene in Closed Session to continue discussion of listed items following the completion of other business.

Public Testimony Procedures: Pursuant to Government Code Section 54954.3, the public may address the Council on each agenda item during the Council’s consideration of that item. Each speaker may state his or her name for the record before testifying. Depending on the number of speakers or the interest in the item, the Council may at its discretion, limit the period of comment for each speaker to five minutes or less. The Council may also restrict, at its discretion, the time allotted for each speaker if the speaker’s public comments become irrelevant to the agenda item or if the comments becomes repetitious.

Appeals: A person who is dissatisfied with a decision of the Town Council may have the right to a review of the decision by a Court. California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1094.5 and 1094.6 generally limit the time within which a decision of the Town Council may be judicially challenged. If a person challenges a decision in Court, he or she may be limited to raising only those issues raised at the Public Meeting described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the Town Council at, or before, the Public Meeting.
