This meeting shall be conducted in compliance with the procedures of Government Code section 54953 as most recently amended by AB 2449 which took effect January 1, 2023. As amended by AB 2449, Government Code section 54953(f) allows less than a quorum of the City Council to participate remotely at any given meeting of the City Council where the remote participant(s) have a statutorily defined “just cause” reason or “emergency” reason for participating remotely. When a member of the City Council participates remotely pursuant to Government Code section 54953(f), the location from which the City Council member is participating remotely does not need to be identified on the agenda and does not need to be open to members of the public. Because Government Code Section 54953(f) allows City Council members to notify the City of their need to participate remotely as late as the start of the meeting, the City Council will prepare for all meetings with the assumption that some number of its members (less than a quorum) might need to participate remotely pursuant to Government Code Section 54953(f). All such meetings will be conducted in compliance with the requirements of Government Code Section 54953(f)(1). Per Government Code Section 54953(f)(2)(B), any City Council member who participates remotely per Government Code section 54953(f) “shall 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”.
