Sec. 408. - Meetings.

The City Council shall hold regular meetings at least twice each month at such times as it shall fix by ordinance or resolution and may adjourn or readjourn any regular meeting to a date and hour certain which shall be specified in the order of adjournment and when so adjourned each adjourned meeting shall be a regular meeting for all purposes.

If at any time any regular meeting falls on a holiday such regular meeting shall be held on the next business day. Special meetings may be called in accordance with State law. Meetings of City Council-appointed and Mayoral-appointed standing and ad hoc Council committees, regardless of the number of City Council members who might be on such committees, shall be open to the public and the time and place of such meetings shall be publicly announced at the City Council meetings prior to such committee meetings. All meetings of the City Council conducted in closed session under the Ralph M. Brown Act (California Government Code Sections 54950 et. seq.) shall be audio recorded. The recording shall be confidential and shall be available for inspection only as permitted by state law. The recording shall be retained for a period of at least two years.
