BACKGROUND:
Upon incorporation the Diamond Bar City Council adopted Resolution No. 1989-06 establishing posting requirements and posting locations for the posting of ordinances and resolutions required by law.
Resolution No. 2001-06 was then adopted to establish updated posting locations upon moving City Hall to the Government Building at 21865 E. Copley Dr.
Resolution No. 2012-34 was then adopted to accommodate the relocation of the Diamond Bar Branch of the Public Library to 21800 Copley Dr. Though the location of City Hall was moved to 21810 Copley Drive in January of 2012, Resolution No. 2012-34 was not updated to include the new City Hall location as a posting location.
Government Code Section 54954.2 requires that the agenda for a legislative body’s regular meeting be posted at least 72 hours in advance of the meeting in a location that is freely accessible to the members of the public and on the local agency’s Internet Web site.
ANALYSIS:
An outdoor bulletin board was purchased and installed in front of the Diamond Bar City Hall in August 2023. The proposed resolution updates the three posting locations for the posting of resolutions, ordinances and other public notices required by law to include:
a. Diamond Bar City Hall Outdoor Bulletin Board
21810 Copley Drive
b. South Coast Air Quality Management District Outdoor Bulletin Board 21865 E. Copley Drive
c. Heritage Park Community Center Outdoor Bulletin Board 2900 S. Brea Canyon Road
Additionally, the proposed resolution differentiates the posting requirement for agendas, which is set by Government Code Section 54954.2 (Brown Act) to include:
a. Diamond Bar City Hall Outdoor Bulletin Board
21810 Copley Drive
