13 Eligible Subsidiary Bodies
SB 707 permits – but does not require – teleconferencing for eligible subsidiary bodies subject to City Council approval. Eligible subsidiary bodies include boards, commissions, and committees of a local public agency which serve exclusively in an advisory capacity and have no “final action” decision-making authority. These bodies can meet via teleconference if all threshold requirements as well as all of the following requirements are met:
Agenda must designate one physical meeting location that is accessible to board members and the public; at least one board member and staff member must be physically present at the location during each meeting
Remote participation by member requires both audio and video technology City Council must make required findings
14 Threshold Requirements for Subsidiary
Bodies
Eligible Subsidiary Bodes must meet the following threshold requirements before participating remotely:
1. Meeting agenda must:
Provide details on how the public can remotely access and make public comments List physical location where members may attend in person Identify procedures for addressing requests for accommodation from members of the public with disabilities
2. Remote participation requires both audio and video technology
3. Public access must be maintained
If telephonic or internet service within City’s control is disrupted, no action may be taken by the Council until service is restored pursuant to the adopted Technology Disruption policy adopted on May 26, 2026
4. Prior to voting, disclosure of others (18+) present in the room at remote location
5. Minutes of the meeting must list the legal basis for each member’s remote participation 15 Council Findings for Subsidiary Bodies
Before the eligible subsidiary body can meet via teleconference for the first time, the City Council must make the following findings by majority vote, and every six months thereafter:
Council has considered the circumstances of the eligible subsidiary body Teleconference meetings would enhance public access to meetings and the public has been made aware of the type of remote participation that will be made available at a regularly scheduled meeting and has been provided the opportunity to comment at an in-person City Council meeting authorizing the subsidiary body to meet remotely
Teleconference meetings would promote the attraction, retention, and diversity of members
16 Ongoing Oversight of Subsidiary Bodies
If the City Council makes the required findings, the eligible subsidiary body shall approve the use of teleconferencing by majority vote before using teleconference pursuant to this provision
Council oversight: The City Council must repeat this process every six months The City Council has the discretion to approve or disapprove the teleconferencing request at any time
Planning Commission, Design Review Committee, and Traffic Commission are not advisory bodies under SB 707
17 Implementation Considerations
Operational, Technical, and Fiscal Impacts
Training for City Clerk staff, IT, and meeting facilitators Update protocols for managing hybrid public comment
Upgrade or standardize platforms for reliable two-way audio/video participation Ensure accessibility for both in-person and remote participants Fiscal Impacts
Potential ongoing costs for interpretation services
Technology licensing, upgrades, and maintenance
Expanded outreach and translation resources
Additional staffing resources to support expanded public participation, hybrid meeting operations, and overall SB 707-realed meeting support 18 Recommended Action
1. Receive and file presentation.
2. Determine “reasonable efforts” for outreach to encourage participation in City Council meetings.
3. Consider adoption of Resolution No. 11703.
