5.1 Council Neighborhoods Committee Work Plan for the 2024 Calendar Year
The staff mentioned the hybrid meeting option has been explored with the local sites and with our IT Department. A hybrid option cannot be accommodated for any of the CNC neighborhood meetings scheduled for this year. Staff also expressed that if a hybrid option were to become available, ideally, it should be available at all sites to ensure meeting format consistency and to ensure all neighborhood areas have equity in the meeting formats available to them.
Councilmember Ramirez asked if there is a legal requirement to keep all the meeting formats consistent with hybrid technology. The staff mentioned they would research this.
The committee asked staff to continue evaluating options for a hybrid meeting option. Housing Director Chen noted that staff will provide an update during the CNC meeting currently scheduled for November 14, 2024.
Motion-M/S- Ramos/Ramirez – Carried 3-0 – To approve the Council Neighborhoods Committee Work Plan for the 2024 calendar year and have staff continue to explore hybrid meeting options.
