Amortized Cost: The original cost of the principal of the security is adjusted for the amount of the periodic reduction of any discount or premium from the purchase date until the date of the report. Discount or premium with respect to short-term securities (those with less than one year to maturity at time of issuance) is amortized on a straight line basis. Such discount or premium with respect to longer-term securities is amortized using the constant yield basis.

Asset-Backed Security: A financial instrument collateralized by an underlying pool of assets – usually ones that generate a cash flow from debt, such as loans, leases, credit card balances, and receivables.

Commercial Paper: An unsecured obligation issued by a corporation or bank to finance its short-term credit needs, such as accounts receivable and inventory.

Contribution to Total Return: The weight of each individual security multiplied by its return, then summed for each sector to determine how much each sector added or subtracted from the overall portfolio performance.

Effective Duration: A measure of the sensitivity of a security’s price to a change in interest rates, stated in years.

Effective Yield: The total yield an investor receives in relation to the nominal yield or coupon of a bond. Effective yield takes into account the power of compounding on investment returns, while nominal yield does not.

Interest Rate: Interest per year divided by principal amount and expressed as a percentage.

Market Value: The value that would be received or paid for an investment in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Building Inspection Services Division
Annual Report – 2022
The Building Inspection Services Division, commonly known as the “Building Department”, is one of three divisions contained in the Community Development Department. The Division is housed on the second floor of City Hall and administers the building permit application, review, issuance, and inspection processes. The Division is open from 8:00am – 5:00pm, Monday through Thursday.

B
uilding Permit - Process
When a building permit is required, a contractor or homeowner submits an application form and construction plans to the Division. Applications and plans can be dropped off at the plan kiosk or may be submitted in person at the public counter. If the project requires approval from the County health department or fire district, the applicant is directed to pursue those permits or approvals separately.

M
any small projects do not require the submittal of plans and can be issued “over -the- counter” by Division technicians. In this case, the applicant meets with the technician, submits all necessary information, makes payment, and receives the building permit in one visit.

O
nce the application is received, the plans are routed to the Building Inspectors for review or “plan check”. During this process, the plans are reviewed to ensure they conform to the adopted building codes. At the same time, the plans are routed to the Planning Division (CDD) and Engineering Division (PW). The Engineering and Planning Divisions review the plans to ensure that they are consistent with past Planning approvals, entitlements, the zoning ordinance/municipal code, and applicable State laws.

T
he review of plans typically takes 2-4 weeks, depending on the complexity of the project.

The commenting Divisions offer written comments or corrections, which are compiled and given to the applicant. The applicant can then modify the plans and resubmit them for review. Once the plans are found to be consistent with the Building Code and all other standards, they are approved, and the building permit is prepared. The applicant is notified, and an appointment is made to pick up and pay for the building permit.

ATTACHMENT A

The applicant is required to pay all applicable fees at the time the building permit is issued.

The Division collects fees for its services and also collects pass-through fees for a number of other purposes and agencies. The following fees are collected by the Division:

1. Building Permit and Plan Check Fees: These cover the cost of reviewing the plans, producing the permit, retaining the file, and all inspections by Division staff. The amount of the fee is based on the size and valuation of the project.

2. Planning Plan C heck Fees: A small fee is collected to cover the cost of review by Planning staff for conformance with the Zoning Ordinance and prior Planning entitlements.

3. Pass-Through Fees: Fees are collected for the Antioch Unified School District, Brentwood Union School District, East Contra Costa County Regional Fee & Financing Authority (ECCRFFA), and others.

4. Support Fees: A
dditional fees are collected to support technology upgrades in the Community Development Department and for training in green building and disabled access, as enabled by State law.

Appointment System
In 2020, the Division shifted to an appointment system for all transactions in response to the pandemic. The Division never closed or stopped offering building permit or inspection services and remained available for in-person transactions. Today, appointments are not required to submit an application or visit the public counter. The Division learned through extensive positive feedback that applicants strongly prefer an appointment system to pick up permits since they are often travelling from other cities and appreciate the predictability offered by the system. The Division remains open for drop in inquiri es or to pick up an over-the-counter permit.

Div
ision – B udgeted Staffing
The Division currently has the following six budgeted positions:
1) Building Inspection Services Manager
2) Senior Building Inspector
3) Building Inspector I with Certification X 2 (2 vacant) 4) Community Development Technician X 2 (1 vacant)
Of the six budgeted positions, three are currently vacant.

A2
Div
ision – C ontract Staffing
In 2022, the City of Antioch used contract services for two full -time building ins pectors and one full-time permit technician. CDD anticipates using full-time contract staffing until the budgeted positions are filled by permanent employees.

TOTAL $42,103 $45,465
A
s shown in the above table, the City is currently spending over $45,000 per month on contract services, which is 8% more than using full -time City staff. Though contract services are valuable in the short term to supplement staff, they are not a reliable long- term substitution. Turnover among contract staff is higher and each new appointment requires training and commitment of staff resources. The Division is currently transitioning to a new permitting software and will be training, out of necessity, the interim contract staff. This valuable training resource would be better invested in permanent staff. In addition, permanent staff are generally more committed to long term career outcomes, customer service, and dedication to the organization. The Division is optimistic that these positions will be filled in the coming year.

A3
Building Permits – Trends
In 2022, the Building Inspection Services Division issued 4,454 building permits. This includes routine building permits for water heaters, kitchen remodels, roofs and similar projects. New single-family homes accounted for 371 building permits, which is 8% of the total. A total of 1,927 permits were issued for new solar panel installations, which is 43% of the total.

Building Permits - Valuation
The cost of most Building Permits is dependent on the valuation of the project, which includes material and labor. Since 2018, the total valuation of projects has increased by $85.3 million or 70%. However, the average dollar valuation of a building permit has increased by just $4,255 or 10%. In short, the City is receiving a larger volume of smaller- valuation projects such as solar panels.

Future Projections
Due to the rise of interest rates and the cooling of the national economy, many sources predict a slowing of the construction industry. Most home purchases and remodels require loans that are sensitive to interest rates. Moving forward, the Community Development Department anticipates a slight decline in the number of building permits across all categories. There remains significant inventory of build-ready lots in the large residential subdivisions in southeastern Antioch and other subdivisions will become available with the delivery of sewer and roads along Sand Creek Road. The Division anti cipates continued growth in the number of building permits issued, but a continued decline in the total valuation and average valuation of a building permit.

SUBMITTED BY: Rosanna Bayon Moore, Assistant City Manager RBM

SUBJECT: Resolution Terminating the Declaration of a Local Emergency Concerning the Novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”)

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the resolution terminating the declaration of a local emergency concerning the Novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”).

FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of ending the declaration of local emergency is unclear at this time.

Should the City experience future costs associated with mitigating COVID impacts, it is unlikely grant funding would be availabl e to offset such costs with no local or State emergency in effect. The General Fund would be responsible for any financial costs.

DISCUSSION
On January 30, 2020, the International Health Regulations Emergency Committ ee of the World Health Organization declare d the C orona outbreak a “public health emergency of international concern. On March 4, 2020, the Governor of California proclaimed a state of emergency in California as a result of the threat of the Coronavirus.

On March 13, 2020, the President of the United States declared a national emergency due to the Coronavirus.

On March 16, 2020, pursuant to California Health and Safety Code sections 101040, 120175, an order of the Health Officer of the County of Contra Costa w as issued and directed all individuals living in the County to shelter at their place of residence, prohibiting all non- essential gatherings of any number of i ndividuals, and ordering cessation of all non-essential travel.

On March 17, 2020, the City Manager in his capacity of Director of Emergency Services proclaimed a local emergency con cerning COVI D-19. The A ntioch City Co uncil subsequently ratified said ac tion on March 24, 2020 by ad option of City Council Resolution No. 2020/38.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the resolution supporting the initial concept to apply for a Clean Mobility Options Project Voucher in order to establish an Electric Vehicle Car Share program in Antioch.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Clean Mobility Options Program Voucher does not have a matching funds requirement. Staff time and the use of City property are the anticipated City costs.

DISCUSSION
The City Manager's office was approached by the with Richmond Community Foundation (RCF) in an effort to bring the electric vehicle car share program they launched in Richmond to Antioch. A brochure of the MioCar program for Richmond is included as Attachment B.

City Staff have been working with RCF to look into applying for a Clean Mobility Options' Mobility Program Voucher for funding. The Mobility Program Voucher Phase 1 application is due on March 1 st. At the time of submitting this staff report, the team is working on the initial concept development. The broad overview of the project will be to site an Electric Vehicle Car Share program in or near a low-income neighborhood. This would provide affordable, reliable access to an electric vehicle for our residents with limited access to a personal vehicle and the need to travel to a local appointment or other event where public transit _is not an option. RCF is working with the team at MioCar to develop the Phase 1 submittal. Some of the sites we are evaluating as potential locations is included as Attachment C.

Increasing the FY 2022/2023 Capital Improvement and Operating Budgets in the amount of $550,000 for the Project from the Community Development Block Grant Fund for a total project budget of $1,483,000; b. Increasing the construction agreement with Redgwick Construction Co. for the Project by $550,000 for a total agreement amount of $1,235,000; and c. Authorizing and directing the City Manager to execute the amendment in a form approved by the City Attorney.

FISCAL IMPACT
Adopting the resolutions above will have the following impacts:

1. Approving the substantial amendment has no fiscal impact to the General Fund and does not change the amount of funding available in the CDBG program.

2. Closing the RLF and changing the use of the funds to Infrastructure shifts funding from a project that cannot utilize the funding to another high priority project in the adopted FY 2022- 23 CDBG Action Plan that can immediately utilize additional funds.

3. Adoption of the construction contract amendment resolution will increase funding by $550,000 from the Community Development Block Grant Fund for a total project budget of $1,485,988 for engineering, inspections, contract administration and construction of the Community Development Block Grant Downtown Roadway Pavement Rehabilitation, Phase 9 Project (“Project”), in lower income block groups near the Delta which experienced recent flooding.

4. These actions amend the City’s Capital Improvement and Operating Budgets in the amounts approved by the above resolutions.

DISCUSSION

Substantial Amendment
The City of Antioch is an entitlement community under the Federal Community Development Block Grant ( CDBG) program which is administered by the U.S.

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). CDBG funds are expended for Antioch City Council Report
February 28, 2023 Agenda Item #4 3

housing, community and economic development projects and public service programs that serve primarily lower income Antioch residents and lower income areas.

The City has kept a Housing Revolving Loan fund (RLF) to deposit payments and payoffs from housing rehabilitation and first-time homebuyer loans that were funded by the CDBG program. This Housing RLF restricts deposited funds to similar housing programs. In the past several years, when interest rates were at record lows, the fund almost doubled due to residents refinancing and paying off the City loans, or sale of homes which triggered payoff. The fund has grown to $699,727.92.

During the same period, CDBG -funded housing programs slowed or were halted for extended periods due to the COVID pandemic, supply chain issues, cost of lumber, and shortage of skilled laborers. Additionally, the City has moved away from using CDBG for housing programs, as it has a balance of Housing Successor funds it must also expend for low/mod income housing program, and these funds are more flexible than federal funding. It also has received Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds which can be programmed for this purpose.

In the FY 2022-23 Action Plan, the City approved funding in the amount of $553,000 from the RLF for the Antioch Home Ownership Program funding for $553,000, as well as $500,000 from the Housing Successor. The RLF funds are not needed for this purpose, and there are sufficient Housing Successor funds to meet the projected need.

Reprogramming RLF Funds
The growing RLF has the potential to cause the City to be in violation of HUD’s standards for timeliness. HUD regulations at 24 CFR 570.902 require that a CDBG Entitlement grantee must have a balance no greater than one and one-half (1.5) times its annual grant remaining in the Line of Credit, 60 days prior to the end of the program year, which is May 1st. Having an amount greater than this violates the standard for "timely performance" and HUD has a longstanding policy of reducing the next year's grant allocation of a grantee that continues to be untimely. For many years , HUD did not include the RLF amounts in the timeliness calculation. However, that changed several years ago and the RLF now counts against the amount that the jurisdiction has on hand.

The City’s annual allocation for FY 2022- 23 is $866,250, and 1.5 times this allocation is $1,299,375. The City’s current balance is $1,984,656. The City must expend $685,281 in regular CDBG entitlement funds and RLF by April 30
th to meet the test for timely
performance. Without dissolving the RLF and reprogramming the fundin g, this may not be possible.

These former RLF funds can only be used for Housing, Infrastructure, and Economic Development. The funding cannot be utilized to increase Public Services, as HUD caps the expenditure of any source of CDBG funding to 15% of the grant amount plus 15% of the prior year program income. The City is on target to expend all funds in the Public Services category and is prohibited from spending over the 15% cap.

Antioch City Council Report
February 28, 2023 Agenda Item #4 4

In addition, in order to expend some of these funds by May 1, the funds must be allocated to an existing project by means of a Substantial Amendment to the Action Plan/Consolidated Plan. Fortunately, the City’s Downtown Street and Accessibility Project is now underway after two years of accumulating enough funding to obtain com petitive bids for street work. The 2021- 22 allocation was $476,988 and the 2022- 23 allocation was $459,000, for a total of $936,988. The addition of $550,000 in RLF would bring the total to $1,485,988 for the current roadway project, for which there is significant need for funding.

Reprogramming the funding to the Downtown Roadway Project will accomplish t hese goals:

1) Best enable the city to meet the CDBG Timeliness Test on April 30, 2023; 2) Eliminate a restricted and currently stagnant pool of funds that will imperil future funding if the City fails to meet the timeliness test;
3) Increase the speed at which the City can accomplish infrastructure improvements to provide better streets, curb cuts for disability access, and improved drainage for residents living in lower income census tracts and block groups; and 4) Address identified deficiencies in streets and storm drains that were made even more evident during recent rains and flooding near the Delta to increase community resiliency in lower income areas.

Amending Construction Contract
On September 13, 2022, City Council awarded a contract in the amount of $ 685,000 to Redgwick Construction Co. for removal and replacement of the asphalt concrete over the full width of West Eighth Street from ‘A’ to ‘ D’ Streets. Portions of the roadway on West Eighth Street at the ‘B’ and ‘C’ Street intersections will be fully reconstructed. Eight new curb ramps will be installed. Deteriorating, damaged and uneven concrete curb, gutter, sidewalk and driveway approaches adjacent to the roadways will be replaced and various storm drainage improvements will be performed.

• Staff is recommending an amendment to the agreement with Redgwick Construction Co. to include additional pedestrian access enhancements, roadway rehabilitation, replacement of d eteriorating, damaged and uneven concrete and various storm drainage improvements. This work may be performed on ‘H’ Street from 4
th Street to 6th Street, 5th Street from ‘G’ Street to ‘J’ Street, and 6 th Street from ‘G’ to ‘H’ Street.

SUBMITTED BY: Brad Helfenberger, Parks and Recreation Director

SUBJECT: Resolution Approving an Amendment to the 2022/23 Fiscal Year Budget to Include Expenditures for the July 4, 2023 Celebration in the Amount of $110,000

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving an amendment to the 2022/23 fiscal year budget to include expenditures for the July 4, 2023 Celebration in the amount of $110,000.

FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed action will increase the General Fund budget in the amount of $110,000.

DISCUSSION
The annual July 4th Celebration has been Antioch’s signature event for many years. Since 2012, the Celebrate Antioch Foundation has led the effort on planning and executing the event with City support, both from in-kind staff as well as direct financial support. Prior to 2021, the City was contributing funds to Celebrate Antioch via the Civic Enhancement Grant Program. In 2022, the City entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Celebrate Antioch, which included $145,000 in direct funding for the provision of the Sesquicentennial Event Series. These events culminated with the July 4th Celebration on July 4, 2022 and the majority of the funding provided was for that event.

In January 2023, Celebrate Antioch Foundation notified the City that it does not intend to continue leading the July 4th event. In order for the event to continue to enjoy a high level of success and quality, City staff proposes to take the lead role and is currently working on planning the event.

Staff have assembled a budget based on features that were included in the event since it was relocated to the downtown area in 2021. The breakdown detailed below includes anticipated direct costs for the event. Staff time is already included in the existing budget and will not be affected by this action.

6 Agenda Item #

STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

DATE: Regular Meeting of February 28, 2023

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

SUBMITTED BY: Thomas Lloyd Smith, City Attorney TLS

SUBJECT: Consideration of Whether to Provide Teleconference Meeting Accommodations for Brown Act Meetings of the City Council and City Boards, Commissions and Committees

RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council:
1) Make a motion to implement teleconference meeting accommodations , as permitted by AB 2449 , for Brown Act m eetings of the City Council and City boards, commissions, and committees; or
2) Make a motion to conduct meetings of the City Council and City boards, commissions, and committees in person and without teleconferencing.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no anticipated direct or indirect fiscal impact as a result of this item.

DISCUSSION
On September 13, 2022, Governor Newsom signed AB 2449 into law, with an effective date of January 1, 2023. In addition to changes to rules for virtual attendance of public meetings under the Ralph M. Brown Act (Brown Act), AB 2449 also imposed a mandate on local legislative bodies within California to adopt proced ures for receiving and swiftly resolving requests for reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities, consistent with federal law.

AB 2449 Teleconferencing Requirements

Assembly Bill 2449 (“AB 2449”), effective as of January 1, 2023, permits a non -majority number of legislative body members to utilize teleconferencing participation for meetings without complying to the traditional Brown Act requirements. To use the teleconferencing rules established under AB 2449, a public agency must comply with the following meeting requirements:

1) A quorum of the members of the agency’s legislative body must participate in person from a singular physical location identified on the agenda; Antioch City Council Report
February 28, 2023 Agenda Item #6 2

2) The legislative body must provide either (i) a two-way audiovisual platform, such as Zoom, which allows the meeting to be viewed and heard from a remote location, or (ii) a two-way telephonic service and a live webcasting of the meeting, this requirement may be satisfied with any combination of platforms that allows the meeting to be viewed and heard from a remote location;

3) The agenda must give notice of the means by which members of the public may access the meeting and offer public comment; and

4) The meeting must be paused (and no action may be taken), if the broadcasting platform, either audio or visual, is interrupted.

If a member of a legislative body wishes to participate remotely under the new procedures, all of the following requirements, (1) through (4), below, must apply:

1) The request to remotely participate must be on the basis of a circumstance that qualifies as a “just cause” or “emergency” circumstance within the meaning of AB 2449:

(i) Just Cause Circumstance: At the earliest opportunity possible (including at the start of a regular meeting), t he requesting member must notify the legislative body that he/she has a “just cause” reason for participating remotely. The request must generally describe the specific circumstances that prevent in person participation. Under AB 2449, “just cause” is specifically defined to mean any of the following circumstances:

a. A childcare or caregiving need of a child, parent, grandparent, grandchild, sibling, spouse, or domestic partner that requires them to participate remotely;

b. A contagious illness that prev ents a member from attending in person;

c. A need related to certain statutorily defined forms of physical or mental disability; or

d. Travel while on official business of the public agency or for another state or local agency.

Under AB 2449, members are limited to a maximum of two (2) times per calendar year to invoke the “just cause” exception to in -person participation.

(ii) Emergency Circumstance: An “emergency circumstance” is defined to mean a “physical or family medical emergency that prevents a member from attending a meeting in person.” To invoke the “emergency circumstance” exception, the requesting member, as soon as possible, Antioch City Council Report
February 28, 2023 Agenda Item #6 3
must request that the legislative body allow him/her to participate remotely due to some specified “emergency circums tance.” In turn, the member’s legislative body must take action to approve the request at the earliest opportunity. The legislative body shall also request a general description (not exceeding 20 words) that describes the circumstances relating to the requesting members “emergency.” The requesting member is not, however, required to disclose any medical diagnosis or disability, or any personal medical information that is already exempt under existing law. The member must also make a separate request for e ach meeting in which he/she seeks to participate remotely under the “emergency” exception.

Participation via teleconference under the “emergency circumstance” exception does not count toward the two-meeting limitation applicable to the “just cause” exception.

2) The member must publicly disclose at the meeting before any action is taken, whether any other individuals 18 years of age or older are present in the room at the remote location with the member, and the general nature of the member’s relationship with any such individuals.

3) The member must participate through both audio and visual technology.

4) A member’s remote participation may not exceed (i) three consecutive months, or (ii) 20% of a legislative body’s regular meetings within a single calendar year. Also, if the legislative body regularly meets fewer than 10 times per calendar year, a member’s participation from a remote location cannot be for more than two meetings total.

CHAPTER 285
An act to amend, repeal, and add Sections 54953 and 54954.2 of the Government Code, relating to local government.
[Approved by Governor September 13, 2022. Filed with
Secretary of State September 13, 2022.]
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 2449, Blanca Rubio. Open meetings: local agencies: teleconferences.

Existing law, the Ralph M. Brown Act, requires, with specified exceptions, that all meetings of a legislative body of a local agency, as those terms are defined, be open and public and that all persons be permitted to attend and participate. The act generally requires posting an agenda at least 72 hours before a regular meeting that contains a brief general description of each item of business to be transacted or discussed at the meeting, and prohibits any action or discussion from being undertaken on any item not appearing on the posted agenda. The act authorizes a legislative body to take action on items of business not appearing on the posted agenda under specified conditions. The act contains specified provisions regarding providing for the ability of the public to observe and provide comment. The act allows for meetings to occur via teleconferencing subject to certain requirements, particularly that the legislative body notice each teleconference location of each member that will be participating in the public meeting, that each teleconference location be accessible to the public, that members of the public be allowed to address the legislative body at each teleconference location, that the legislative body post an agenda at each teleconference location, and that at least a quorum of the legislative body participate from locations within the boundaries of the local agency’s jurisdiction. The act provides an exemption to the jurisdictional requirement for health authorities, as defined.

Existing law, until January 1, 2024, authorizes a local agency to use teleconferencing without complying with those specified teleconferencing requirements in specified circumstances when a declared state of emergency is in effect, or in other situations related to public health.

This bill would revise and recast those teleconferencing provisions and, until January 1, 2026, would authorize a local agency to use teleconferencing without complying with the teleconferencing requirements that each teleconference location be identified in the notice and agenda and that each teleconference location be accessible to the public if at least a quorum of the members of the legislative body participates in person from a singular physical location clearly identified on the agenda that is open to the public and situated within the local agency’s jurisdiction. Under this exception, 92 ATTACHMENT A
the bill would authorize a member to participate remotely under specified circumstances, including participating remotely for just cause or due to emergency circumstances. The emergency circumstances basis for remote participation w ould be contingent on a request to, and action by , the legislative body , as prescribed. The bill, until January 1, 2026, w ould authorize a legislative body to consider and tak e action on a request from a member to participate in a meeting remotely due to emer gency circumstances if the request does not allo w sufficient time to place the proposed action on the posted agenda for the meeting for which the request is made. The bill would define terms for purposes of these teleconferencing provisions.

This bill would impose prescribed requirements for this exception relating to notice, agendas, the means and manner of access, and procedures for disruptions. The bill w ould require the le gislative body to implement a procedure for recei ving and swiftly resolving requests for reasonable accommodation for indi viduals with disabilities, consistent with federal law.

Existing constitutional pro visions require that a statute that limits the right of access to the meetings of public bodies or the writings of public officials and agencies be adopted with findings demonstrating the interest protected by the limitation and the need for protecting that interest.

This bill would make legislative findings to that effect.

The California Constitution requires local agencies, for the purpose of ensuring public access to the meetings of public bodies and the writings of public officials and agencies, to comply with a statutory enactment that amends or enacts la ws relating to public records or open meetings and contains findings demonstrating that the enactment furthers the constitutional requirements relating to this purpose.

This bill would make legislative findings to that effect.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1. Section 54953 of the Government Code, as amended by Section 3 of Chapter 165 of the Statutes of 2021, is amended to read:
54953. (a) All meetings of the legislative body of a local agency shall be open and public, and all persons shall be permitted to attend any meeting of the legislative body of a local agenc y, except as otherwise pro vided in this chapter.
(b) (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the legislative body of a local agency may use teleconferencing for the benefit of the public and the legislative body of a local agenc y in connection with an y meeting or proceeding authorized by law. The teleconferenced meeting or proceeding shall comply with all otherwise applicable requirements of this chapter and all otherwise applicable pro visions of la w relating to a specific type of meeting or proceeding.
92 — 2 — Ch. 285

(2)  Teleconferencing, as authorized by this section, may be used for all purposes in connection with an y meeting within the subject matter jurisdiction of the legislative body. If the legislative body of a local agency elects to use teleconferencing, the le gislative body of a local agenc y shall comply with all of the following:
(A)  All votes taken during a teleconferenced meeting shall be by rollcall. (B)  The teleconferenced meetings shall be conducted in a manner that protects the statutory and constitutional rights of the parties or the public appearing before the legislative body of a local agency. (C)  The legislative body shall give notice of the meeting and post agendas as otherwise required by this chapter.
(D)  The legislative body shall allow members of the public to access the meeting and the agenda shall pro vide an opportunity for members of the public to address the legislative body directly pursuant to Section 54954.3. (3)  If the legislative body of a local agency elects to use teleconferencing, it shall post agendas at all teleconference locations. Each teleconference location shall be identified in the notice and agenda of the meeting or proceeding, and each teleconference location shall be accessible to the public. During the teleconference, at least a quorum of the members of the legislative body shall participate from locations within the boundaries of the territory over which the local agenc y exercises jurisdiction, except as provided in subdivisions (d) and (e).
(c)  (1)  No legislative body shall tak e action by secret ballot, whether preliminary or final.
(2)  The legislative body of a local agency shall publicly report any action taken and the vote or abstention on that action of each member present for the action.
(3)  Prior to taking final action, the legislative body shall orally report a summary of a recommendation for a final action on the salaries, salary schedules, or compensation paid in the form of fringe benefits of a local agency executive, as defined in subdi vision (d) of Section 3511.1, during the open meeting in which the final action is to be tak en. This paragraph shall not affect the public’s right under the California Public Records Act (Division 10 (commencing with Section 7920.000) of Title 1) to inspect or copy records created or recei ved in the process of de veloping the recommendation.
(d)  (1)  Notwithstanding the provisions relating to a quorum in paragraph (3) of subdivision (b), if a health authority conducts a teleconference meeting, members who are outside the jurisdiction of the authority may be counted toward the establishment of a quorum when participating in the teleconference if at least 50 percent of the number of members that w ould establish a quorum are present within the boundaries of the territory o ver which the authority exercises jurisdiction, and the health authority provides a teleconference number, and associated access codes, if an y, that allows any person to call in to participate in the meeting and the number and access codes are identified in the notice and agenda of the meeting. 92 Ch. 285 — 3 —

(2) Nothing in this subdivision shall be construed as discouraging health authority members from regularly meeting at a common physical site within the jurisdiction of the authority or from using teleconference locations within or near the jurisdiction of the authority. A teleconference meeting for which a quorum is established pursuant to this subdi vision shall be subject to all other requirements of this section.
