PRESENTATION
2 Remote Meetings and Noticing Requirements
AB361 allows for
remote meetings with
relaxed noticing until
Jan 1, 2024
If the State of
Emergency is lifted
before legislation is
enacted, previous
Brown Act noticing
requirements will apply
• If the Governor lifts the State of Emergency
then previous Brown Act noticing
requirements will apply:
• Noticing remote locations in advance
• Making remote locations open and accessible
to the public
• New Legislation may codify existing
“relaxed” notification requirements, but may
not take effect until Jan 1, 2023
Item 3
PRESENTATION
3 Virtual Attendance
If stricter Brown Act
requirements return,
SVCE staff recommend
that:
• Board members utilize an existing publicly-accessible location that allows for ADA access and full public participation
• City Halls / Community Centers / Etc.
• SVCE work with Member Agencies to cover
any fees / staff time needed to open
facilities for Meetings (evenings)
• Provide the ability to attend meetings from
SVCE’s office (Committee meetings / fully-remote Board meetings) Item 3
PRESENTATION

Needs / Desires

PRESENTATION
7 Pending Legislation
Several bills at the
State Legislature could
affect Brown Act
teleconferencing
requirements; but none
are considered urgent
legislation
• AB 1944 (Support) – private locations do
not require noticing; public teleconferencing
required
• SB 1100 (Support) – public agencies may
remove disruptive audience members
individually
• AB 2449 (Watch) – public agencies may
relax teleconferencing requirements if
quorum of body is present in one location
Item 3
PRESENTATION
8 Remote Location Assistance
SVCE Staff will work to
ensure smooth remote
participation by all
Board members, in
coordination with on-site staff
• SVCE staff will cover fees associated with
the use of an off-site location, including
working with member agencies to develop
reimbursement agreements for member
agency staff time needed to open public
facilities for remote attendance
• SVCE staff will do their best to provide the
technical equipment needed for remote
meetings, but will not be able to provide on-site support at remote locations Item 3
PRESENTATION
9 Options Available
SVCE Staff is working
to prepare for Hybrid
Brown Act Meetings,
both on- and off-site, to
prepare for a period
under prior Brown Act
requirements, but
before permanent
legislation is enacted
• In-Person / Hybrid Meetings
• Board - Cupertino Community Hall
• Re-opening for in-person Meetings in April
• SVCE staff to conduct dry run of hybrid setup in April • Committee - SVCE Offices
• SVCE outfitting conference rooms with improved audio-visual equipment
• Public accessibility may affect meeting requirements
