COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CRESCENT CITY AUTHORIZING SUBMISSION OF A

PROGRAM FOR THE FRONT STREET COMPLETE STREET AND CULTURAL

INCLUSION PROJECT
Grants Coordinator Lacey presented to the Council the RAISE Grant application which will be in partnership with Elk Valley Rancheria. There is significantly more funding this year and had a favorable reaction from our last application. She went over in detail the plans for Front Street and 3 | P a g e
4/4/22 COUNCIL MINUTES
how the Cultural Inclusion Project will take shape. The City will be asking for $11.5 million in RAISE grant funds, total cost for the project is $18million. In addition, the RAISE grant includes a retention requirement. The Department of Transportation will withhold 5% of the reimbursements for a period of three years after the project closes out. On a $11.5 million project, that means the City will be waiting for $575,000 to be reimbursed for three years after the project closeout.

If awarded, these funds will be used to transform the remaining portion of Front Street from an underutilized four-lane roadway to an attractive, two-lane roadway with pedestrian and bicycle improvements, cultural interpretive signage, off-street parking, local art, safe connections to recreation, and native landscaping. Council Member Smith asked if there was a concern with them holding 5%; City Manager Wier stated that it is a concern, however, there is no match required for this grant, the cash flow portion does create some concerns. Council Member Inscore stated the measure of the risk is not that it will happen, but that it is a possibility. This is a strategy and with Urban Futures assistance, we will be successful. Mayor Greenough spoke in support of the project realizing completion and that Elk Valley Rancheria has always been a good partner for the City. City Manager Wier stated that this project has been a great partnership with Elk Valley Rancheria, it is a competitive grant, however we received positive feedback from our last application, it was deemed highly recommended. There will be a cost benefit analysis consultant for this project, the City’s portion will be $5k and will be from the Economic Development budget.

Council Member Altman said that his desire would have been for the Council to have approved borrowing money for the four projects, so the unallocated funds were available for grants.

There were no public comments.

On a motion by Mayor Pro Tem Wright, seconded by Council Member Inscore and carried unanimously on a 5-0 polled vote, the City Council of the City of Crescent City approved and adopted Resolution No. 2022-24, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

9. Municipal Code Update – Official Bonds
• Recommendation: Hear staff report
• Technical questions from the Council
• Receive public comment
• Further Council discussion
• Waive full reading, read by title only and introduce Ordinance No. 829, AN

ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CRESCENT CITY AMENDING CHAPTERS 2.14, OFFICE OF THE CITY CLERK, AND 2.20,

DIRECTOR OF FINANCE, OF THE CRESCENT CITY MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO OFFICIAL BONDS.

City Attorney Rice explained that this is to update the municipal code to have the City Clerk and Finance Director Bonded. Government Code Section 36518 requires that the City Clerk and the City Treasurer furnish official bonds to the City upon entering office. The Finance Director serves as the City Treasurer per Section 2.20.020(D). Government Code Section 1463 authorizes the City to purchase a government crime insurance policy or an employee dishonesty insurance policy as an alternative to official bonds. The City’s insurance policies provide greater coverage than do the official bonds in terms of policy limits and employees/officials covered and do not cost anything additional as the City will maintain its insurance policies guarding against employee crimes (theft, fraud, etc.) regardless.

There were no public comments.

The key purpose of HMGP is to ensure that the opportunity to take critical mitigation measures to reduce the risk of loss of life and property from future disasters is not lost during the reconstruction process following a disaster. $635k is the amount of the subapplication. Council Member Inscore asked about the timing and if there has been an increased cost of these generators since they won’t be purchased right away; City Manager Wier stated that they put a 20% inflation factor into the price.

stop working. Regarding helmets – the riders are 18 and older and the vehicle code does not require helmets. Chief Griffin explained the City limits and how that needs to be fully understood; there are many people who do not know what the City limits are.

Dan Schmidt: concerned about the mixture of traffic in the S curves as people travel rather fast in the area. Asked if they would be at a fixed location or dispersed around the community. Asked when the rental period ends since it’s by the minute.

Darrin Short: would like a proposal brought to the County and thinks it’s a great idea and a good blend with the City and County.

Linda Perry: spoke about her concerns with the scooters and that they are left anywhere, not in bike racks; they are going to get dumped on the sidewalks and in the way of pedestrians. The bike path by the Harbor doesn’t allow for a motorized vehicle.

Ernie Perry: spoke about the County limits down in the Harbor and what area is controlled by the Harbor. Spoke about the ordinance and the definition of scooter and that it does not match what this scooter is.

Mayor Greenough asked about the safety of the S curves; Chief Griffin stated that the vehicle code covers where these vehicles can be ridden and how fast they can go. Director Olson stated that at the entrance of Lighthouse Cove he has seen a lot of near misses there, but there is no crash data and it is not warranted to have a traffic signal at that location.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: MAYOR GREENOUGH AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ERIC WIER, CITY MANAGER
BY: LINDA LEAVER, FINANCE DIRECTOR
DATE: JUNE 6, 2022
SUBJECT: BUDGET-TO-ACTUAL FINANCIAL REPORTS FOR APRIL 2022 ______________________________________________________________________

RECOMMENDATION
• Receive and file monthly budget-to-actual financial reports of the City’s major operating funds for the month of April 2022

BACKGROUND
In order to provide timely information to the City Council and to the public, the City’s Finance Department has prepared the attached monthly budget-to-actual reports. These reports provide a summary as of April 30, 2022 of the fiscal year-to-date revenues and expenses of the City’s major operating funds: General Fund, Housing Authority Fund, Lighthouse Cove RV Park Fund, Sewer Fund and Water Fund.

The information in the attached report is a snapshot at this point in time and may change as additional information is entered into the accounting system and verified.

ITEM ANALYSIS
As of April 30, 2022, we are 83% of the way through the fiscal year, with 17% of the year remaining. If revenues were received and expenditures made evenly throughout the year, there should be approximately 17% of each budget line remaining. However, revenues and expenditures are not even throughout the year for many reasons. Many revenues are not received evenly throughout the year (particularly tax revenues and grant reimbursements), most expenses are not recorded until the invoice is received in the following month, and budgets may include large projects that have not yet been completed.

This report summarizes the actual revenues and expenditures for the year to date; additional information is provided in the budget-to-actual reports attached.

BUDGET TO ACTUAL REPORT – APRIL 2022
JUNE 6, 2022
2 • General Fund
General Fund revenues show that 30% of the budgeted amount is yet to be received. This is dependent on the timing of when certain revenues are received.

For example, most taxes, third party billings, and grant reimbursements are recorded quarterly. General Fund actual expenditures show that 36% of the budgeted amount is yet to be expended.
• Housing Authority Fund
The Housing Authority is funded by monthly disbursements from the federal government. At this point, actual revenues show 22% remaining to be received and actual expenditures have remaining amounts of 24%.
• Lighthouse Cove RV Park Fund
Revenues collected by the Lighthouse Cove Recreational Vehicle Park (RV Park) are already 2% over budget. RV Park revenues are highly seasonal, and most rental revenues are typically received in the summer months. Actual expenses in the RV Park show 38% of the budget left to be expended. • Sewer Fund
The Sewer Fund earns revenue primarily from charges to the users of its services.

Actual revenues show 21% of the total revenue budget remaining to be collected.

Operational expenses (not including debt service or capital improvements) show 39% of the budget remaining to be expended.
• Water Fund
The Water Fund earns revenue primarily from charges for service. Actual revenues show 15% of the budget remaining to be collected and 26% of budgeted operational expenses (not including debt service or capital improvements) remaining to be expended.
• Summary
The following table summarizes the actual revenues and expenses for the City’s five major operating funds, not including encumbrances:

3 • Long-term Liabilities
The City’s long-term liability balances are included in the table below. Net Pension Liability, Net OPEB Liability, and Compensated Absences are updated annually during the audit process. These amounts below are from the most recent audit (June 30, 2021). The Sewer Fund and Water Fund loan balances are updated when payments are made (in July for the Sewer Fund loan, and in December and June for the Water Fund loan). These do not include interfund balances (amounts owed from one City fund to another).

DATE: JUNE 6, 2022
SUBJECT: CONSOLIDATION OF THE 2022 GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION ______________________________________________________________________

RECOMMENDATION
• Approve and adopt Resolution No. 2022-40, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CRESCENT CITY DECLARING THE DATE OF THE GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION OF 2022, SPECIFYING THE OFFICES TO BE FILLED, AND REQUESTING CONSOLIDATION OF THE NOVEMBER 8, 2022 CITY OF CRESCENT CITY ELECTION WITH THE NOVEMBER 8, 2022

STATEWIDE GENERAL ELECTION

BACKGROUND
As a California "general law" city, Crescent City conducts municipal elections every two years for City Council vacancies, as well as any measures that are placed on the ballot by the City Council or through the initiative or referendum processes. For many decades election administration services for the City of Crescent City's municipal elections have been provided by the County of Del Norte through its County Clerk-Recorder / Registrar of Voters office. These services include everything from voter registration to signature verification to the actual management of the election process for general municipal elections and special municipal elections. The City pays the County a fee for these services, which varies each cycle depending on the specific nature of the election.

ANALYSIS
Consolidated elections ease the use of resources on both staff time and budget expense for the City as the City does not have any of the elections materials, machines, or staff to conduct their own.

The City's next general municipal election will be held on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, at which time the registered voters within the city limits will decide who shall hold three City Council seats. Two seats are for 4-year terms and one seat is for a 2-year term to fill the remainder of the term of office left vacant by the resignation of Alex Campbell in 2021.

Council Member Altman was subsequently appointed to fill the seat until the next general election.

Election Consolidation Request
June 6, 2022
2 FISCAL ANALYSIS
Consolidation of the election is budgeted under the City Clerk as a contract service. The cost of each election varies widely based on the number of measures and offices, among other things. It is expected that election costs will increase this year due to the fact that the cost for conducting our local elections has risen. It is difficult to know the final cost of an election, but the money will be allocated from the General Fund. For FY 22/23, a proposed budget of $12,000 will be included in the budget presented for Council approval in June.

RECOMMENDATION
• Approve and adopt Resolution No. 2022-31, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CRESCENT CITY AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2021-22 BUDGET OF THE CITY OF CRESCENT CITY

BACKGROUND
SyTec Solutions has been the City’s online records management company for several years. Their billing system was not consistent and at times, two years’ worth of billing would be sent at once. Due to the inconsistency of SyTec’s billing system, there was a clerical error on our end that had an incorrect date range for payment. Due to the error, it was assumed that the invoice for 2019-2020 had already been paid, therefore the adopted budget did not reflect the right amount to cover that unpaid invoice and the FY 2021-2022 invoice.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
In order to pay for the FY 19/20 invoice as well as the FY 21/22 invoice, a budget amendment in the amount of $2,830 will be required.

ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CRESCENT CITY

APPROVING A MILITARY EQUIPMENT USE POLICY AS REQUIRED BY AB 481

BACKGROUND
Assembly Bill 481 (AB 481), codified at Government Code sections 7070 through 7075 requires a law enforcement agency (LEA) to obtain approval from the applicable governing body, via adoption of a “military equipment” use policy (the Policy) by ordinance (the Ordinance), prior to the LEA funding, acquiring, or using military equipment. The Crescent City Police Department (CCPD) seeks City Council adoption of the attached Military Equipment Use Policy, in order to allow CCPD to continue to use the vital equipment specified therein.

Items deemed to be “military equipment” by AB 481 are used as a component of overall best practices for LEAs throughout the country. These tools have been tested in the field, and are used by LEAs to enhance citizen safety, officer safety. Loss of these items would jeopardize the welfare of citizens and peace officers within the CCPD.

The term “military equipment”, as used in AB 481, in fact does not necessarily indicate equipment that has been used by the military. Pursuant to AB 481, items deemed to be

MILITARY EQUIPMENT USE POLICY
June 6, 2022
2 “military equipment” include, but are not limited to, unmanned aerial or ground vehicles, armored vehicles, command and control vehicles, pepper balls, less lethal shotguns, less lethal 40mm projectile launchers, long range acoustic devices, and flashbangs.

CCPD is committed to using the most up to date tools and equipment to safeguard the citizens of Crescent City. Some of items deemed to be “military equipment” by AB 481 are in fact employed by CCPD, and LEA’s across the country, in order to specifically reduce risk to community members. These items provide peace officers with the ability to safely resolve volatile situations which otherwise might rise to the level of a lethal force encounter. To that end, the items at issue in this report, and accompanying Military Equipment Use Policy, also provide CCPD’s peace officers with vital tools that facilitate compliance with its stringent use of force policy.

The policy must address the following matters for each type of military equipment:
(1) description, quantity, capabilities, lifespan, and manufacturer product descriptions; (2) the purposes and authorized uses for each type of military equipment; (3) fiscal impact including the initial costs of obtaining the equipment and annual costs of maintenance;
(4) the legal and procedural rules that govern each authorize use; and (5) the training, including any course required by POST, that must be completed before an officer may use each specific type of military equipment.

The policy must also detail the mechanisms to ensure compliance with the policy, including which persons or entities have oversight authority, and, if applicable, what legally enforceable sanctions are put in place for violations of the policy. The policy must also provide procedures by which members of the public may register complaints or concerns or submit questions about the use of each specific type of military equipment, and how the department will ensure that each complaint, concern, or question receives a timely response.

After the policy is adopted, the police department must annually report to the community and the City Council on its use of military equipment in the previous calendar year. The annual report and the military equipment use policy must be made available on the police department’s webpage. The City Council must approve the policy on annual basis by ordinance.

ITEM ANALYSIS
There is significant interest in ensuring that law enforcement continues to have access to equipment that will provide peace officers as many options as possible to safeguard lives, ensure safety, and protect civil liberties. The use of the tools identified below are vital to CCPD’s mission and will continue to be strictly regulated through internal processes and oversight.

MILITARY EQUIPMENT USE POLICY
June 6, 2022
3 This public hearing is an opportunity for the public comments, thoughts, and suggestions for the City’s use of “military equipment” as defined by AB 481. The notice of public hearing was published in the Triplicate and posted on the Police Department’s webpage.

Ordinance No. 830 will officially approve the CCPD’s Policy 710: Military Equipment, which outlines each item identified in Government Code section 7070, that is currently owned or sought to be purchased by the City. The policy also includes the authorized use and approximate cost of each item. These particular items, and their stated uses, have been in place prior to the implementation of AB 481. The policy does not propose the use of any type of equipment that is not already in use by the Police Department. Future acquisitions of any item deemed to be “military equipment” will require a further public meeting, policy update, and council approval.

Ordinance No. 830 safeguards the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties.

The ordinance ensures that there are safeguards, including transparency, oversight, and accountability measures in place. There are no reasonable alternatives to the military equipment listed in the policy. CCPD has not discovered alternative items that can achieve the same objectives of officer and civilian safety.

If the ordinance is adopted this evening, it will become effective July 6th.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
The only fiscal impact of this policy is the staff time put into drafting and reporting in compliance with AB 481 as well as noticing and holding annual community engagement meetings and public hearings.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: MAYOR GREENOUGH AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ERIC WIER, CITY MANAGER
BY: ROBIN PATCH, CITY CLERK/ADMINISTRATIVE ANALYST
DATE: JUNE 6, 2022
SUBJECT: AB 1944 – BROWN ACT MODERNIZATION
______________________________________________________________________

RECOMMENDATION
• Hear staff report
• Technical questions from the Council
• Receive public comment
• Further Council discussion
• Direct staff to draft a letter of support to AB 1944 – Local Government: open and public meetings

BACKGROUND
The City received an “Action Alert” from the League of California Cities regarding AB 1944, which seeks to modernize the Brown Act by expanding the use of teleconferencing by a minority of the governing body. AB 1944 would allow local government officials to participate remotely without the burdensome agenda requirements of listing on the agenda the location of the individual participating remotely, making the remote location a publicly accessible location, and posting the agenda at the remote location.

AB 1944 allows a governing body to “opt-in” by determining by majority vote that members participating remotely are not required to identify their location nor making the location accessible to the public. This can only occur when a quorum of the governing body is present at a single physical location within its jurisdiction. If one or more members of the legislative body choose to participate remotely, then the meeting must be made available via video stream to the public and the public must be given an option to make public comment via virtual or telephonic means, which is our current standard practice. In addition, remote participants must be identified on the agenda. However, the agenda may be updated at any time prior to the meeting for this purpose only.

This option would allow a council member that is travelling, not feeling well, or has some other situation that makes physical attendance challenging to participate remotely. Other than the initial resolution to approve the use of this procedure, the participation of one or AB 1944 Letter of Support
JUNE 6, 2022
2 two councilors via Zoom or telephone would be much more practical than under the current rules. This legislation would not become effective until January 1, 2024 when the current provisions regarding teleconferencing during a declared state of emergency expire.

The action alert requested action prior to this meeting, however, staff suggest that the City Council authorize the issuance of one or more letters in support of AB 1944 as they are requested.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
Writing a letter of support has no financial impact.

ACTION ALERT!!
AB 1944 (Lee and C. Garcia)
Local government: open and public meetings

SUPPORT
Background:

Early in the pandemic, Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a series of executive orders to expand public access to meetings by suspending some of the restrictions placed on teleconferencing.

After sustained advocacy from the League of California Cities in 2021, lawmakers passed AB 361 (Rivas, Robert), which allows cities to meet remotely under similar conditions during a declared state of emergency after the executive orders expired.

Many cities still use AB 361 to conduct public meetings safely and transparently. However, there is a strong desire from local officials to continue some of the flexibility allowed under AB 361 beyond a declared state of emergency.

Although current law does allow for teleconferencing outside of a declared state of emergency, it imposes several requirements, including cities posting the location an individual is teleconferencing from. Additionally, members of the public must be allowed to participate in the meeting at the same location as that individual. This poses serious public safety concerns.

What does AB 1944 specifically do?
• Would allow members of local legislative bodies to virtually attend public meetings without making public the address of that location when certain requirements are met. • Would require legislative bodies that choose to opt-in to AB 1944 to make a livestream of the meeting available to the public and allow for virtual public participation.

Talking Points:
• We urge the Assembly Member to vote “aye” on AB 1944 to modernize the Brown Act. • We have learned during the pandemic that such remote participation is effective, transparent, and actually encourages participation from a broader portion of the public.
• AB 1944 finds the right balance between expanding public access to local government meetings and addressing health and safety concerns.
• The option to conduct city business remotely without unnecessary concerns about the safety of elected officials is essential and will encourage community engagement and participation.

ACTION:

AB 1944 may be heard on the Assembly floor no later than May 26, 2022.

CALL your Assembly Member TODAY and urge their “aye” vote to secure passage of AB 1944.

Inform your Assembly Member that your city needs the flexibility provided in this measure. 5/26/22, 5:00 PM Bill Text - AB-1944 Local government: open and public meetings. https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB1944 1/8 ASSEMBLY BILL NO. 1944

CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2021–2022 REGULAR SESSION
Introduced by Assembly Members Lee and Cristina Garcia
(Coauthors: Senators Becker, Cortese, and Stern)
February 10, 2022
An act to amend, repeal, and add Section 54953 of the Government Code, relating to public meetings.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1944, as amended, Lee. Local government: open and public meetings.

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 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 require the agenda to identify any member of the legislative body that will participate in the meeting remotely. The bill would also require an updated agenda reflecting all of the members participating in the meeting remotely to be posted, if a member of the legislative body elects to participate in the meeting remotely after the agenda is posted.

This bill would require all open and public meetings of a legislative body that elects to use teleconferencing to provide a video stream accessible to members of the public and an option for members of the public to address the body remotely during the public comment period through an audio-visual or call-in option.

This bill would repeal these provisions on January 1, 2030.

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.

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.

SEC. 4. The Legislature finds and declares that Sections 1, 2, and 3 of this act, which amend, repeal, and add Section 54953 of the Government Code, further, within the meaning of paragraph (7) of 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 allowing for greater public participation in teleconference meetings.

SEC. 5. (a) The Legislature finds and declares that during the COVID-19 public health emergency, certain requirements of the Ralph M. Brown Act (Chapter 9 (commencing with Section 54950) of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the Government Code) and 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 No. 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 of state bodies and reduced work hours spent traveling to and from meetings.
(b) The Legislature finds and declares that Sections 1, 2, and 3 of this act, which amend, repeal, and add Section 54953 of the Government Code, impose a potential limitation on 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 potential limitation and the need for protecting that interest:

By removing the requirement for each teleconference location to be identified in the notice and agenda, including the member’s private home address, and by providing exceptions to the requirements that each teleconference location must be accessible to the public and that members of the public be given the opportunity to address the legislative body directly at each teleconference location, this act protects the personal, private information and location of public officials and their families while preserving the public’s right to access information concerning the conduct of the people’s business.

Letter of Support for AB 1944 – Brown Act Modernization Dear [NAME],
The City Council of the City of Crescent City writes this letter in support of AB 1944. We have learned during the COVID-19 pandemic that remote participation is effective and transparent. In fact, the City Council experienced greater public participation from a wider segment of the public during our virtualonly meetings. While the Council is back to in-person sessions, the City continues to allow virtual public participation. The option to allow City Councilors to attend a meeting remotely without turning their location into a public space and thereby compromising the Councilor’s safety or the public’s safety (in case of a Councilor’s contagious illness), makes sense. AB 1944 strikes the right balance between assuring public access to local government meetings, expanding opportunities for remote participation, and addressing health and safety concerns of both the Council and the public.

Respectfully submitted,
Jason Greenough, Mayor
