OVERVIEW: Petaluma Council is a sub-committee of the Student Government Assembly (SGA) and serves as the student government branch of the Petaluma Campus. All students are welcomed and invited to join our weekly Petaluma Council meetings where we discuss issues arising on campus, plan upcoming events, and provide student feedback to the administration on campus projects. All meetings are open to the public, and agendas are posted 72 hours in advance at the meeting location. Petaluma Council meets weekly during the fall and spring while classes are in session. The Petaluma Council budget is made possible with the sales of CubCard Premium.

• ADDITIONAL MEETING INFORMATION

  RIGHTS OF THE PUBLIC

  • POLICY: California Government Code, Chapter 9. Meetings (Ralph M. Brown Act), Sections [54950 - 54963]
  • “In enacting this chapter, the Legislature finds and declares that the public commissions, boards and councils and the other public agencies in this State exist to aid in the conduct of the people’s business. It is the intent of the law that their actions be taken openly and that their deliberations be conducted openly.
    The people of this State do not yield their sovereignty to the agencies which serve them. The people, in delegating authority, do not give their public servants the right to decide what is good for the people to know and what is not good for them to know. The people insist on remaining informed so that they may retain control over the instruments they have created.”
  • "At least 72 hours before a regular meeting, the legislative body of the local agency, or its designee, shall post an agenda containing a brief general description of each item of business to be transacted or discussed at the meeting, including items to be discussed in closed session."
