Chief Boyd spoke to the homeless issue and the trespassing in the unincorporated area.
Council member Acosta wants to know why as a City are we tolerating the county saying that they don’t have enough staffing.
Chief Boyd spoke to the fact that there is a difference between the County and the Sheriff’s department.
It is the sheriff’s department that is not cooperating.
Dawn Owens, lives on Rio Vista and she stated her frustration with the homeless issue and the problems that they are causing to her and her family. She is one of the people that had to evacuate from her home because of the fire. She had to keep a homeless person out of her house that wanted to go in and wash his hands in her house. She has had to call the police. She has had her motorhome broken into 4 times and one for sure is not homeless, but she doesn’t know about the other 3. She finds it hard to believe that the county is allowing children to live in the river bottom with no running water and a shelter with a tarp.
Two days ago, a shelter was being built in the area that is posted not trespassing. She is tired of this, and she is frustrated. More people are being affected.
Mayor LeBarre is frustrated as well; State and Federal Government are hamstringing local government.
He stated that there are certain things that we have to do to get the homeless out of the river bottom. He is frustrated as well.
Dawn understands the need to help the homeless to get what they need, but the homeless need to be willing to help themselves.
City Manager Adams feels that we are going to have a really good program for this. It will be permanent housing as long as they need it and they will receive services they need. There will be some enforcement for those that do not want to go to the permanent housing.
Action: adopt Resolution No. 2022-4895 authorizing staff to begin the pre-application process to amend the City’s Sphere of Influence (SOI) and annex the Salinas Riverbed Area (Assessor Parcel No. 245-081- 031-000) by DeLeon and seconded by Victoria.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: STEVEN ADAMS, CITY MANAGER
RE: CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF KING MAKING FINDINGS RELATED TO THE
CONTINUED EXISTENCE OF A STATE OF EMERGENCY DUE
TO COVID-19 AND RE-AUTHORIZING THE CONDUCT OF
PUBLIC MEETINGS OF THE LEGISLATIVE BODIES OF THE
CITY VIA REMOTE TELECONFERENCING FOR AN
ADDITIONAL 30-DAY PERIOD PURSUANT TO THE RALPH M.
BROWN ACT AS AMENDED BY ASSEMBLY BILL NO. 361
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council adopt a Resolution making findings related to the continued existence of a State of Emergency due to COVID-19 and reauthorizing the conduct of public meetings of the legislative bodies of the city via remote teleconferencing for an additional 30-day period pursuant to the Ralph M.
Brown act as amended by AB 361.
BACKGROUND:
Starting March 2020, the Governor of California declared a State of Emergency to make additional resources available, formalize emergency actions already underway, and help the state prepare for broader spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19). On March 13, 2020, the President declared a National State of Emergency. As a result, on March 16, 2020, the City Manager signed a Proclamation of Local Emergency in King City, which was ratified by the City Council on March 20, 2020.
In March 2020, in response to the spread of COVID-19 in the County of in the County of Monterey, the County proclaimed a state of local emergency for the County of Monterey and thereafter issued orders from the County of Monterey Health Officer aimed at containing COVID-19.

CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF KING MAKING FINDINGS RELATED TO THE CONTINUED EXISTENCE OF A STATE OF EMERGENCY DUE TO COVID-19 AND RE-AUTHORIZING
THE CONDUCT OF PUBLIC MEETINGS OF THE LEGISLATIVE BODIES OF THE CITY VIA REMOTE TELECONFERENCING FOR AN ADDITIONAL 30- DAY PERIOD PURSUANT TO THE RALPH M. BROWN ACT AS AMENDED BY ASSEMBLY BILL NO. 361
AUGUST 23, 2022
PAGE 2 OF 4
On March 20, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2020-4753 declaring and proclaiming the existence of a local emergency in the City in response to COVID-19.
The Governor subsequently issued a number of executive orders aimed at promoting social distancing to reduce the spread of COVID-19. The Orders included suspending the following requirements of the Ralph M. Brown Act governing how public meetings are conducted:
• the requirement that local agencies provide notice of each teleconference location from which a member of the legislative body will be participating in a public meeting;
• the requirement that each teleconference location be accessible to the public;
• the requirement that members of the public be able to address the legislative body at each teleconference conference location; • the requirement that local agencies post agendas at all teleconference locations; and
• the requirement that at least a quorum of the members of the local body participate from locations within the boundaries of the territory over which the local body exercises jurisdiction.
The legislative bodies conducted many of their meetings via remote teleconferencing consistent with the declaration of local emergency and executive orders issued by the Governor during the shutdown. Equipment was then installed in the Council Chambers that provides the added capability of hybrid simultaneous in-person and virtual meetings.
When the Order expired, State legislation was adopted that extended the ability to meet remotely under specified circumstances. When that expired, the City temporarily discontinued the ability of elected officials and board members to participate in meetings remotely. Additional State legislation has been proposed and is under consideration. In the meantime, the Governor’s declared State of Emergency remains in effect. This, along with the CDC and County Health Officer’s guidelines, provides the City Council the ability to make the findings necessary to continue to participate in meetings virtually.

The findings were last approved by the City Council at the June 14, 2022 meeting. Therefore, the approval is necessary again at this time because the last one has expired.
DISCUSSION:
Provisions regarding the ability of Council, Board and Commission members participating in meetings remotely remain the same, which include the following:
• In each instance in which notice of the time of the teleconferenced meeting is given or the agenda for the meeting is posted, the legislative body shall also give notice of the manner by which members of the public may access the meeting and offer public comment;
• The agenda shall identify and include an opportunity for all persons to attend via a call-in option or an internet-based service option; • The legislative body shall allow members of the public to access the meeting, and the agenda shall include an opportunity for members of the public to address the legislative body directly;
• In the event of a disruption which prevents the local agency from broadcasting the meeting to members of the public using the call-in option or internet-based service option, or in the event of a disruption within the local agency’s control which prevents members of the public from offering public comments using the call-in option or internet-based service option, the legislative body shall take no further action on items appearing on the meeting agenda until public access to the meeting via the call-in option or internet-based service option is restored; and
• Written/remote public comment must be accepted until the point at which the public comment period is formally closed; registration/sign-up to provide/be recognized to provide public comment can only be closed when the public comment period is formally closed.
A number of circumstances could involve the need for virtual attendance, such as the following:
RESOLUTION NO. 2022-_____
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KING MAKING
FINDINGS RELATED TO THE CONTINUED EXISTENCE OF A STATE OF EMERGENCY DUE TO COVID-19 AND RE-AUTHORIZING THE CONDUCT OF
PUBLIC MEETINGS OF THE LEGISLATIVE BODIES OF THE CITY VIA REMOTE TELECONFERENCING FOR AN ADDITIONAL 30-DAY PERIOD PURSUANT TO THE RALPH M. BROWN ACT AS AMENDED BY ASSEMBLY BILL NO. 361
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of King (“City”) are committed to preserving and nurturing public access and participation in meetings of the legislative bodies (as that term is defined in Government Code §54952, including commissions, boards and committees subject to the Brown Act) of the City (collectively, the “Legislative Bodies”); and WHEREAS, all meetings of the Legislative Bodies are open and public as required by the Ralph M. Brown Act, codified as Government Code §§ 54950 et seq., so that any member of the public may attend, participate, and observe the Legislative Bodies conduct their business; and WHEREAS, the Brown Act, at Government Code § 54953(e), as amended by Assembly Bill (AB) 361 effective October 1, 2021, makes provision for remote teleconferencing participation in public meetings by members of a Legislative Body without compliance with the provisions of Government Code § 54953(b)(3), subject to the existence of certain conditions; and WHEREAS, a required condition under Government Code § 54953(e) is that the meeting is held during a state of emergency that has been declared by the Governor pursuant to Government Code § 8625, proclaiming the existence of conditions of disaster or of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the state caused by conditions as described in Government Code § 8558; and

The Legislative Bodies have since conducted many of their meetings via remote teleconferencing consistent with the declaration of local emergency and executive orders issued by the Governor; and
WHEREAS, the executive orders issued by the Governor, among other things, waived requirements of the Brown Act expressly or impliedly requiring the physical presence of members of the legislative body, the clerk or other personnel of the body, or of the public as a condition of participation in or for the purpose of establishing a quorum for a public meeting. Without limitation, the orders waived the following requirements of Government Code §54953(b)(3):
• the requirement that local agencies provide notice of each teleconference location from which a member of the legislative body will be participating in a public meeting; • the requirement that each teleconference location be accessible to the public; • the requirement that members of the public be able to address the legislative body at each teleconference conference location;
• the requirement that local agencies post agendas at all teleconference locations; and • the requirement that at least a quorum of the members of the local body participate from locations within the boundaries of the territory over which the local body exercises jurisdiction; and
WHEREAS, on June 11, 2021, the Governor issued Executive Order N-08-21, which rescinded the modifications made by the aforementioned executive orders, effective September 30, 2021. On September 16, 2021, the Governor signed AB 361, creating a modified set of provisions for local agencies for compliance with the Brown Act relative to remote meetings. AB 361 was made effective on October 1, 2021. These modifications include the following:
• In each instance in which notice of the time of the teleconferenced meeting is given or the agenda for the meeting is posted, the legislative body shall also give notice of the manner by which members of the public may access the meeting and offer public comment;
• The agenda shall identify and include an opportunity for all persons to attend via a callin option or an internet-based service option; • The legislative body shall allow members of the public to access the meeting, and the agenda shall include an opportunity for members of the public to address the legislative body directly;
• In the event of a disruption which prevents the local agency from broadcasting the meeting to members of the public using the call-in option or internet-based service option, or in the event of a disruption within the local agency’s control which prevents members of the public from offering public comments using the call-in option or internetbased service option, the legislative body shall take no further action on items appearing on the meeting agenda until public access to the meeting via the call-in option or internetbased service option is restored; and • Written/remote public comment must be accepted until the point at which the public comment period is formally closed; registration/sign-up to provide/be recognized to provide public comment can only be closed when the public comment period is formally closed.
WHEREAS, the Governor’s proclaimed state of emergency and the City’s proclaimed local emergency related to COVID-19 remain in effect and encompass the jurisdictional boundaries of the City and Successor Agency. State of California and County of Monterey Public Health officials have recommended measures to promote social distancing, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) continue to recommend physical distancing; and WHEREAS, as a consequence of the persisting state of emergency and the imposed or recommended social distancing measures, the Legislative Bodies may conduct their meetings without compliance with paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of Government Code § 54953, as authorized by subdivision (e) of Government Code § 54953, and that the Legislative Bodies may comply with the requirements to provide the public with access to the meetings as prescribed in paragraph (2) of subdivision (e) of Government Code § 54953; and WHEREAS, consistent with AB 361, during the effectiveness of this Resolution, the Legislative Bodies and their staff may choose to avail themselves with AB 361 and give notice of the manner by which members of the public may access the Legislative Bodies’ meetings and offer public comment; identify and include an opportunity for all persons to attend via a call-in option or an internet-based service option; and allow members of the public to access the meeting, and the agenda shall include an opportunity for members of the public to address the Legislative Body directly.
