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 limitation 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 section 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 Santa Clara, 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.
If a member of the public submits a speaker card for any agenda items, their name
will appear in the Minutes. If no speaker card is submitted, the Minutes will reflect
"Public Speaker."
In accordance with the requirements of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act
of 1990 ("ADA"), the City of Santa Clara will not discriminate against qualified
individuals with disabilities on the basis of disability in its services, programs, or
activities, and will ensure that all existing facilities will be made accessible to the
maximum extent feasible. The City of Santa Clara will generally, upon request,
provide appropriate aids and services leading to effective communication for
qualified persons with disabilities including those with speech, hearing, or vision
impairments so they can participate equally in the City’s programs, services, and
activities. The City of Santa Clara will make all reasonable modifications to policies
and programs to ensure that people with disabilities have an equal opportunity to
enjoy all of its programs, services, and activities.
Agendas and other written materials distributed during a public meeting that are
