2. AB 361 - Consider Making Findings to Allow the Fremont Unified School District (FUSD) Board and Fremont City Council to Continue Holding Meetings via Videoconference pursuant to AB 361
AB 361 Requirement
In order for Fremont Unified School District (FUSD) Board and the Fremont City Council to hold a meeting by teleconferencing pursuant to Government Code Section 54953(e) (AB 361), these legislative bodies need to reconsider the circumstances of the state of emergency created by the COVID-19 pandemic every 30 days and find that the state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet safely in person. Specifically, the Governor ’s declared State of Emergency in response to the COVID-19 pandemic (the “ Emergency ” ) is still in place. And, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention continue to advise that COVID-19 spreads more easily indoors than outdoors and that people are more likely to be exposed to COVID-19 when they are closer than 6 feet apart from others for longer periods of time. Therefore, due to the ongoing COVID 19 pandemic, the need to promote social distancing to reduce the likelihood of exposure to COVID-19, and the imminent risks to the health or safety of meeting attendees, the Emergency impacts the ability of these legislative bodies to meet safely in person.
Fremont Unified School District Board and the Fremont City Council must make the following findings in order to continue holding videoconference meetings:
1. The Fremont Unified School District Board and Fremont City Council have reconsidered the circumstances of the COVID-19 state of emergency;
2. The state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet safely in person; and
3. Staff is directed to schedule consideration of these findings at the regularly scheduled Joint Fremont Unified School District Board and City of Fremont Council meeting on February 7, 2022.
