La Mirada Ave. Neighborhood Assn. v. City of Los Angeles
Petitioners and appellants La Mirada Neighborhood Association of Hollywood and Gary Slossberg appeal from the trial court’s denial of their petition for writ of mandate and complaint for declaratory relief and injunctive relief brought against the City of Los Angeles (the City) challenging the meeting agendas published by the City’s Area Planning Commissions (APC’s). Petitioners contend that the use of the phrase “Public Hearing Completed†on the meeting agendas with respect to particular items violates the Ralph M. Brown Act (Gov. Code, § 54950 et seq. (the Brown Act))[1] because it misleads members of the public into believing that they have no right to speak at the meetings regarding those items. Viewing the agenda as a whole, we conclude that reasonable members of the public are not likely to be misled by the phrase. We find no violation of the Brown Act and thus affirm the judgment.
