CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: February 17, 2022
From: Clay Holstine, City Manager
Subject: Adoption of a Resolution Declaring the Continued Need to Conduct Such Meetings Remotely Due to Health and Safety Concerns for the Public

COMMUNITY GOAL RESULTS
Safe Community
Ensuring Public Meetings Remain Open to the Public

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution declaring the need to continue conducting the meetings of the City Council, Commissions, and Committees remotely due to health and safety concerns for the public.

BACKGROUND
In 2020 and 2021, the Governor signed various Executive Orders that allowed meetings of public agencies to be conducted remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to protect the public and governmental officials. In additional, the County Health Officers have issued Health Orders requiring masks indoors in public places, regardless of vaccination status. As a result, the City has been conducting its public meetings via zoom, thereby ensuring the right of the public to participate in public meetings but keeping the public, City Council, Committees, and Commissions, and City staff safe.

There have been no cancelled meetings due to technical or related difficulties. 14 D.

Remote Public Meetings Page 2 of 3
Notwithstanding the availability of a vaccine and boosters, COVID-19 variants (Delta and Omicron) have continued to spread and infect individuals. To address the need to continue to allow public agencies to conduct meetings remotely, in September 2021, AB 361 was enacted. AB 361 amends the Brown Act to permit local legislative bodies to continue to meet remotely until January 1, 2024 provided:
• The local legislative body is meeting during a declared state of emergency • State or local health officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing
• The local legislative body has determined that there is a need to hold public meetings remotely due to imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees
In September, October and November 2021, and in January 2022, the City Council found that the City met the requirements of AB 361, namely, the declared state of emergency proclaimed by the state (as well as one by the City) remained in place; state and local health officials continued to recommend that residents observe social distancing and take other protective measures; and the City determined that there was a need to hold public meetings remotely due to imminent risks to the health and safety of attendees. The Council therefore adopted Resolutions directing that the City continue to conduct public meetings normally scheduled for City Hall via Zoom to protect the health and safety of the public.

The Brown Act as amended by AB 361 requires that every 30 days the City Council review its decision not to hold in-person public meetings at City Hall and to specifically determine whether holding remote and/or hybrid public meetings continues to meet the requirements of the Brown Act as amended.

City Council last made the necessary findings on January 20, 2022. 15 D.

Remote Public Meetings Page 3 of 3

DISCUSSION
Notwithstanding that as of February 16, 2022, masks are not required to be worn indoors in every situation, they are required to be worn in many venues and therefore,the requirements to allow public meetings to be conducted remotely continue: there is a declared state of emergency; state and local officials have imposed measures to promote social distancing; and there continues to be a need to hold public meetings remotely due to imminent risks to the health and safety of attendees.

ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution making the findings required under AB 361, to require the public meetings of the City Council, Commissions and Committees normally scheduled for City Hall through March 18, 2022 be held remotely or in hybrid fashion to protect the health and safety of the public.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact.

An act to add and repeal Section 89305.6 of the Education Code, and to amend, repeal, and add Section 54953 of, and to add and repeal Section 11133 of, the Government Code, relating to open meetings, and declaring the urgency thereof, to take effect immediately. 20 D.

REMOTE PUBLIC MEETINGS_ATTACHMENT 3
2 LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 361, Robert Rivas. Open meetings: state and local agencies: teleconferences. (1) 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 contains specified provisions regarding the timelines for posting an agenda and providing for the ability of the public to directly address the legislative body on any item of interest to the public. The act generally requires all regular and special meetings of the legislative body be held within the boundaries of the territory over which the local agency exercises jurisdiction, subject to certain exceptions. 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. The act authorizes the district attorney or any interested person, subject to certain provisions, to commence an action by mandamus or injunction for the purpose of obtaining a judicial determination that specified actions taken by a legislative body are null and void.

Existing law, the California Emergency Services Act, authorizes the Governor, or the Director of Emergency Services when the governor is inaccessible, to proclaim a state of emergency under specified circumstances.

Executive Order No. N-29-20 suspends the Ralph M. Brown Act’s requirements for teleconferencing during the COVID-19 pandemic provided that notice and accessibility requirements are met, the public members are allowed to observe and address the legislative body at the meeting, and that a legislative body of a local agency has a procedure for receiving and swiftly resolving requests for reasonable accommodation for individuals with disabilities, as specified.

This bill, until January 1, 2024, would authorize a local agency to use teleconferencing without complying with the teleconferencing requirements imposed by the Ralph M. Brown Act when a legislative body of a local agency holds a meeting during a declared state of emergency, as that term is defined, when state or local health officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing, during a proclaimed state of emergency held for the purpose of determining, by majority vote, whether meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees, and during a proclaimed state of emergency when the legislative body has determined that meeting in person would present imminent risksto the health orsafety of attendees, as provided.
21 D.

REMOTE PUBLIC MEETINGS_ATTACHMENT 3
3 This bill would require legislative bodies that hold teleconferenced meetings under these abbreviated teleconferencing procedures to give notice of the meeting and post agendas, as described, to allow members of the public to accessthe meeting and addressthe legislative body, to give notice of the means by which members of the public may access the meeting and offer public comment, including an opportunity for all persons to attend via a call-in option or an internet-based service option, and to conduct the meeting in a manner that protects the statutory and constitutional rights of the parties and the public appearing before the legislative body. The bill would require the legislative body to take no further action on agenda items when there is a disruption which prevents the public agency from broadcasting the meeting, or in the event of a disruption within the local agency’s control which prevents members of the public from offering public comments, until public access is restored. The bill would specify that actions taken during the disruption are subject to challenge proceedings, as specified.

This bill would prohibit the legislative body from requiring public comments to be submitted in advance of the meeting and would specify that the legislative body must provide an opportunity for the public to address the legislative body and offer comment in real time. The bill would prohibit the legislative body from closing the public comment period and the opportunity to register to provide public comment, until the public comment period has elapsed or until a reasonable amount of time has elapsed, as specified. When there is a continuing state of emergency, or when state or local officials have imposed or recommended measuresto promote social distancing, the bill would require a legislative body to make specified findings not later than 30 days after the first teleconferenced meeting pursuant to these provisions, and to make those findings every 30 days thereafter, in order to continue to meet under these abbreviated teleconferencing procedures.

Existing law prohibits a legislative body from requiring, as a condition to attend a meeting, a person to register the person’s name, or to provide other information, or to fulfill any condition precedent to the person’s attendance.

This bill would exclude from that prohibition, a registration requirement imposed by a third-party internet website or other online platform not under the control of the legislative body. (2) Existing law, the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act, requires, with specified exceptions, that all meetings of a state body be open and public and all persons be permitted to attend any meeting of a state body. The act requires at least one member of the state body to be physically present at the location specified in the notice of the meeting.

The Governor’s Executive Order No. N-29-20 suspends the requirements of the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act for teleconferencing during the COVID-19 pandemic, provided that notice and accessibility requirements are met, the public members are allowed to observe and address the state body at the meeting, and that a state body has a procedure for receiving and swiftly resolving requests for reasonable accommodation for individuals with disabilities, as specified.

This bill, until January 31, 2022, would authorize, subject to specified notice and accessibility requirements, a state body to hold public meetings through teleconferencing and to make public meetings accessible telephonically, or otherwise electronically, to all members of the public 22 D.

REMOTE PUBLIC MEETINGS_ATTACHMENT 3
4 seeking to observe and to address the state body. With respect to a state body holding a public meeting pursuant to these provisions, the bill would suspend certain requirements of existing law, including the requirements that each teleconference location be accessible to the public and that members of the public be able to address the state body at each teleconference location.

Under the bill, a state body that holds a meeting through teleconferencing and allows members of the public to observe and addressthe meeting telephonically or otherwise electronically would satisfy any requirement that the state body allow members of the public to attend the meeting and offer public comment. The bill would require that each state body that holds a meeting through teleconferencing provide notice of the meeting, and post the agenda, as provided. The bill would urge state bodies utilizing these teleconferencing procedures in the bill to use sound discretion and to make reasonable efforts to adhere as closely as reasonably possible to existing law, as provided.
(3) Existing law establishes the various campuses of the California State University under the administration of the Trustees of the California State University, and authorizes the establishment of student body organizationsin connection with the operations of California State University campuses.

The Gloria Romero Open Meetings Act of 2000 generally requires a legislative body, as defined, of a student body organization to conduct its business in a meeting that is open and public. The act authorizes the legislative body to use teleconferencing, as defined, for the benefit of the public and the legislative body in connection with any meeting or proceeding authorized by law.

This bill, until January 31, 2022, would authorize, subject to specified notice and accessibility requirements, a legislative body, as defined for purposes of the act, to hold public meetings through teleconferencing and to make public meetings accessible telephonically, or otherwise electronically, to all members of the public seeking to observe and to addressthe legislative body.

With respect to a legislative body holding a public meeting pursuant to these provisions, the bill would suspend certain requirements of existing law, including the requirements that each teleconference location be accessible to the public and that members of the public be able to address the legislative body at each teleconference location. Under the bill, a legislative body that holds a meeting through teleconferencing and allows members of the public to observe and address the meeting telephonically or otherwise electronically would satisfy any requirement that the legislative body allow members of the public to attend the meeting and offer public comment. The bill would require that each legislative body that holds a meeting through teleconferencing provide notice of the meeting, and post the agenda, as provided. The bill would urge legislative bodies utilizing these teleconferencing procedures in the bill to use sound discretion and to make reasonable efforts to adhere as closely as reasonably possible to existing law, as provided.
(4) This bill would declare the Legislature’sintent, consistent with the Governor’s Executive Order No. N-29-20, to improve and enhance public accessto state and local agency meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic and future emergencies by allowing broader access through teleconferencing options.
23 D.

REMOTE PUBLIC MEETINGS_ATTACHMENT 3
5 (5) This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 54953 of the Government Code proposed by AB 339 to be operative only if this bill and AB 339 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.
(6) 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 laws 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. (7) Existing constitutional provisions 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. (8) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.

(3) For purposes of this subdivision, a health authority means any entity created pursuant to Sections 14018.7, 14087.31, 14087.35, 14087.36, 14087.38, and 14087.9605 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, any joint powers authority created pursuant to Article 1 (commencing with Section 6500) of Chapter 5 of Division 7 for the purpose of contracting pursuant to Section 14087.3 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, and any advisory committee to a county-sponsored health plan licensed pursuant to Chapter 2.2 (commencing with Section 1340) of Division 2 of the Health and Safety Code if the advisory committee has 12 or more members. (e) This section shall become operative January 1, 2024.

SEC. 5.

Sections 3.1 and 4.1 of this bill incorporate amendments to Section 54953 of the Government Code proposed by both this bill and Assembly Bill 339. Those sections of this billshall only become operative if (1) both bills are enacted and become effective on or before January 1, 2022, but this bill becomes operative first, (2) each bill amends Section 54953 of the Government Code, and (3) this bill is enacted after Assembly Bill 339, in which case Section 54953 of the Government Code, as amended by Sections 3 and 4 of this bill, shall remain operative only until the operative date of Assembly Bill 339, at which time Sections 3.1 and 4.1 of this bill shall become operative.

SEC. 6.

It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this act to improve and enhance public access to state and local agency meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic and future applicable emergencies, by allowing broader access through teleconferencing options consistent with the Governor’s Executive Order No. N-29-20 dated March 17, 2020, permitting expanded use of teleconferencing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

SEC. 7.

The Legislature finds and declares that Sections 3 and 4 of this act, which amend, repeal, and add Section 54953 of the Government Code, further, within the meaning of paragraph (7) of 37 D.

REMOTE PUBLIC MEETINGS_ATTACHMENT 1
19 subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution, the purposes of that constitutional section as it relates to the right of public access to the meetings of local public bodies or the writings of local public officials and local agencies. Pursuant to paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution, the Legislature makes the following findings:

This act is necessary to ensure minimum standards for public participation and notice requirements allowing for greater public participation in teleconference meetings during applicable emergencies.

SEC. 8.
(a) The Legislature finds and declaresthat during the COVID-19 public health emergency, certain requirements of the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act (Article 9 (commencing with Section 11120) of Chapter 1 of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code) were suspended by Executive Order N-29-20. Audio and video teleconference were widely used to conduct public meetings in lieu of physical location meetings, and public meetings conducted by teleconference during the COVID-19 public health emergency have been productive, have increased public participation by all members of the public regardless of their location in the state and ability to travel to physical meeting locations, have protected the health and safety of civil servants and the public, and have reduced travel costs incurred by members ofstate bodies and reduced work hours spent traveling to and from meetings.
(b) The Legislature finds and declares that Section 1 of this act, which adds and repeals Section 89305.6 of the Education Code, Section 2 of this act, which adds and repeals Section 11133 of the Government Code, and Sections 3 and 4 of this act, which amend, repeal, and add Section 54953 of the Government Code, all increase and potentially limit the public’s right of access to the meetings of public bodies or the writings of public officials and agencies within the meaning of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution. Pursuant to that constitutional provision, the Legislature makes the following findings to demonstrate the interest protected by this limitation and the need for protecting that interest:
(1) By removing the requirement that public meetings be conducted at a primary physical location with a quorum of members present, this act protects the health and safety of civil servants and the public and does not preference the experience of members of the public who might be able to attend a meeting in a physical location over members of the public who cannot travel or attend that meeting in a physical location.
(2) By removing the requirement for agendas to be placed at the location of each public official participating in a public meeting remotely, including from the member’s private home or hotel room, this act protectsthe personal, private information of public officials and their families while preserving the public’s right to access information concerning the conduct of the people’s business.
38 D.

REMOTE PUBLIC MEETINGS_ATTACHMENT 1
20 SEC. 9.

This act is an urgency statute necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety within the meaning of Article IV of the California Constitution and shall go into immediate effect. The facts constituting the necessity are:

In order to ensure that state and local agencies can continue holding public meetings while providing essential services like water, power, and fire protection to their constituents during public health, wildfire, or other states of emergencies, it is necessary that this act take effect immediately.

Request to Seek Donations/Sponsorships for the 2022 Concerts in the Park Series Page 1 of 3

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: February 17, 2022
From:Jeff Franco, Recreation Coordinator
Subject: Request to seek Donations/Sponsorships for the 2022 Summer Concerts in the Park series
Community Goal/Result
Community Building, Fiscally Prudent
Purpose
Promote integration and partnerships between Brisbane businesses and the community, provide opportunities for interactions and gathering, and enhance the quality of life for Brisbane residents.

Recommendation
Grant permission to City staff to seek donations/sponsorships from Brisbane community members and businesses for the 2022 Summer Concerts in the Park series.

Background
Brisbane’s Concerts in the Park series is one of the City’s signature events and has become wellloved by the community. Over the past decade, the series has grown and expanded based on input from residents. Sponsorships have historically provided residents and businesses with a means of contributing and personally engaging in the process of bestowing entertainment upon the Brisbane community. In partnership with the Parks & Recreation Commission, City staff seek sponsorships and donations each year in advance of the concert series to cover the cost of event expenses. Sponsorships and donations directly impact the number of concerts offered and the quality of bands procured for each series. Average sponsorship totals over the past 5 years have been between $12,000-$15,000. Staff strive to match or exceed previous years’ totals in order to deliver high-quality events for the community.

Discussion
Consistent with past practice, staff seek permission to begin the process of securing sponsorships and donations to support the 2022 concert series. Staff requests Council’s approval to conduct outreach to residents and the business community between March-June 2022. Outreach occurs in the form of direct mail letters to past donors, social media postings, signboard postings, and solicitations in City publications such as the STAR and the Friday Blast.

Four sponsorship levels exist ranging from $100-$2,500. All donors/sponsors will be acknowledged on City signboards, on the gazebo banner, and announced at each concert. 41 E.
