Tulelake, CA— Taking responsibility for your own actions
Some people think they can put anything on an agenda and get away with it. However, there are laws that say otherwise. There is no policy reflecting what can or cannot be put on agenda’s at city council meetings for the city of Tulelake, CA. There is where one of the problems lies, —with no policy or resolutions, otherwise to speak of for the city of Tulelake, CA.
According to the Brown Act, an agenda item cannot be vague. It has to be presented in such a fashion that the general public knows what that agenda item is and what it is all about. In order for the public to decide if they want to attend the meeting or not by the way the agenda item was worded. In other words, for the general public to decide rather or not they want to discuss or be part of the agenda item, pro or con by deciding to attend or not attend the meeting in question.
You also cannot request an open hearing and not notify all parties involved by what the, 5th, and 14th Amendments of the Constitution refer to as “due process” along with the 1st and 9th Amendments. One person who wants to protect his rights cannot deny another of theirs in the process. Plus when requesting an open hearing it also means the deliberations also take place in open session and not a closed one.
Some people think they can put anything they want on a city council meeting agenda feeling it is their right. With rights comes responsibility for their actions as to whether the agenda item is personal in nature or city business.
That is where the court comes in and the court will decide the legalities of a case soon to be before it, in the first steps of an “Administrative Claim” against the city of Tulelake, CA for violations of the Brown Act and all those parties responsible for violating it.
