PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1 STRUCTURAL:

A. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to perform the structural design of the signs and to incorporate all the safety features necessary to adequately support the sign for its intended use and purpose and to protect the Owner. Designs that meet or exceed industry and code standard engineering practices will be required. The sign fabricator shall submit engineer stamped calculations for foundations, lifting eyes and other sign components that effect the structural design.

1. When required because of size or weight of sign, provide lifting eyes. Lifting eyes shall be removable or visually inconspicuous in the finished work.

2. Include support backing and connection to existing support structure or mounting surface.

B. Design loads:

1. All forces resulting from dead loads, live loads, rated loads, wind loads, and seismic loads as applicable shall be applied in determining adequacy of all parts of a suspension system and the system as a whole.
a. Wind loads and seismic loads shall be in accord with governing loads. b. Dead loads consist of the weight of the suspended object(s), and, if a separate system, the load of the suspension system.

C. Support:

1. Consideration shall be given to the support structure to which overhead objects may be attached to assure sufficient structural strength and appropriate connection points.

2. Every suspended object shall be connected by means of sufficient and appropriate attachments and hangers to the support structure designed for its application. The only exceptions are loads of 2 lb. or less which may be attached to architectural materials. These objects may be suspended from walls or ceilings made of tile, plaster, or gypsum board without connecting directly to the structure.

3. Loads in excess of 2 lb. suspended from a vertical plane, such as a wall or column, shall be supported and installed in a positive manner that maximizes the structures provided. In addition, when visual design criteria permit, a ledge shall be provided to support the bottom edge of the object. Friction attachments are not acceptable.

4. The primary support of a suspended object may be designed as a concentrated load that is suspended from a single point, or as a distributed load where the weight of a suspended object is suspended by means of more than one primary support sharing the load equally.

Wheeler Parking Garage Date: 7/1/2019
City of San Carlos

Page 8 of 11 ends

5. Whenever possible, objects shall be designed to be supported as a distributed load.

6. When determining the load of an object or system, both the total weight of the object or system and the specific load at each suspension point shall be considered. Basic statics and known material properties and weight distributions shall be used in determination of support loading.

7. Consideration shall be given to the design of the support structure and access to the structure to which overhead objects are intended to be attached. System design shall include adequate access for installation, inspection, and maintenance.

8. Qualified, trained individuals shall perform all rigging installations with prior rigging experience. Individuals who hang items shall be familiar with these Specifications.

9. Attaching to structure: Care shall be taken to minimize loading conditions that induce torque in structural members. Attachments to existing structure shall be as specified in approved shop drawings.

D. Attachment points of suspended items:

1. Every suspended item shall be constructed to withstand the stresses imposed within its structure by the rigging design. Hardware used to form a rigging point on an item shall meet the intent and requirements of this Section.

E. Connections:

1. All sign brackets, members, connections, welds, bolts, screws, etc. shall conform to 2013 California Building Code, ASCE 7-10 and all appropriate material reference documents.

F. Safety factors:

1. The systems used for supporting suspended objects shall be sufficiently secure so as to prevent failure.

2. The safety ratio for a specific installation shall, as a minimum, meet a 5:1 safety ratio over the minimum allowable load for the installation condition.

3. The required minimum safety ratio applies to the total system. Individual components of a system may be rated at higher values, depending upon the component. The lowest value shall determine the safety factor of the system.

Certified "working load" factors that have the basis of laboratory testing are acceptable. As an example, chain manufacturers traditionally use a safety factor of 4:1 over breaking strength as ultimate working load. Wire rope shall use the 5:1 safety factor.

4. Required fail-safe system: Every object suspended overhead shall be designed with a single-point fail-safe system.
a. Every malfunction or failure of a critical component, due to whatever cause, shall not create a life or limb threatening condition or progressive failure of the system.

CITY COUNCIL

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: January 9, 2023
ITEM TITLE: Adopt a Resolution Appropriating $50,000 from the Fiscal Year 2022- 23 General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance to the Community Events Operating Budget for a Volunteer Recognition Reception.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution appropriating $50,000 from the Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2022-23 General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance to the Community Events Operating Budget for a volunteer recognition reception.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

Approval of this resolution will require a budget appropriation in the amount of $50,000 in FY 2022-23. As this will be an annual event, funding will be incorporated into future year budgets.

There are sufficient funds available in the General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance to cover this request.

BACKGROUND:

On April 12, 2021, the City Council approved Resolution 2021-027 re-establishing the Community Events budget to include costs associated with managing the weekly Farmers’ Market and the annual Art & Wine Faire. Additionally, on January 24, 2022, the City Council approved Resolution 2022-012 appropriating funds for the City to assume the management and coordination of the Hometown Days annual weekend festival. It was discussed that in order for the City to take on these additional weekend-long and year-round community events, staff would need to rely on volunteers more so than in previous years to ensure all of these events are safe and successful.

In addition to volunteer support for community events, the City relies on volunteers from the community to serve on the City’s Commissions and Boards. Additionally, the Parks and Recreation Department relies on over 175 volunteers to assist with the youth basketball league, youth flag football league, Youth Center programs, park projects, trail maintenance, and Adult Community Center program and events. Each program’s needs for volunteer support vary.

ANALYSIS:

Volunteering is a way for residents to make a positive impact in the community and creates a sense of social connectedness and purpose. Volunteering is said to have many benefits to both mental and physical health. The City has provided many opportunities for volunteering in the community for decades. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the City hosted a volunteer reception for approximately 75 community volunteers.

In 2022, the Parks and Recreation Department began tracking citywide volunteers in an online database called Better Impact. Community members register themselves as volunteers and can

6.g
January 09, 2023

Packet Pg. 214

sign up for a variety of shifts. The number of hours in which volunteers provide support to programs over the course of a year ranges from 10 hours to over 500 hours, depending on the volunteer position. In 2022, staff calculated over 400 registered volunteers who worked more than 8,000 hours of volunteer service.

Staff anticipates increased attendance at the City-hosted volunteer recognition reception and will need to identify an outside venue to accommodate all participants. Additionally, the Parks and Recreation Department and other City departments will continue to be dependent on volunteers returning year after year in order to successfully host events and recreation programs and to serve on the City Commissions and Boards. Showing appreciation for these volunteers’ time and effort by hosting a recognition dinner is common practice to keep volunteers motivated, enthusiastic, and wanting to do more.

The event budget of $50,000 estimates an attendance of 250 volunteers for a cocktail hour and sit down dinner with entertainment. Staff will make every effort to book a venue within San Carlos, if one can accommodate the number in attendance. This event will be planned each year, inviting and recognizing volunteers of City programs and events.

ALTERNATIVES:

The alternatives available to the City Council include:

1. Adopt a Resolution appropriating $50,000 from the Fiscal Year 2022-23 General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance to the Community Events operating budget for a volunteer recognition reception; or

2. Do not adopt the Resolution; or

3. Provide staff with direction.

CITY COUNCIL

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: January 9, 2023
ITEM TITLE: Adopt a Resolution Making Findings and Authorizing Remote Teleconference Meetings of the City Council and Commissions Pursuant to Assembly Bill 361.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution authorizing remote teleconference meetings of the City Council and Commissions pursuant to Assembly Bill (“AB”) 361.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

There is no financial impact associated with adopting the proposed Resolution.

BACKGROUND:

On March 4, 2020, Governor Newsom of California proclaimed a state of emergency in response to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). Then on March 17, 2020, the Governor issued Executive Order N-29-20 easing Brown Act restrictions to allow local legislative bodies to hold their meetings via teleconference. This enabled the San Carlos City Council and staff to continue to safely conduct public meetings with public participation via teleconference, while still adhering to the County of San Mateo Health Officer’s "shelter-in-place" order.

On September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom approved AB 361 with the goal to “improve and enhance public access to local agency meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic and future applicable emergencies, by allowing broader access through teleconferencing options.” The bill contains an urgency clause, which made the bill effective upon signing with a sunset date of January 1, 2024.

AB 361 allows local legislative bodies to continue to meet remotely if they meet three criteria:

1. The local agency holds a meeting during a declared state of emergency proclaimed by the Governor; and

2. State or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing; and

3. Legislative bodies have determined that meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.

Pursuant to AB 361, the City Council adopted Resolution 2021-093 on September 27, 2021, declaring the need for the City Council and Commissions to continue conducting remote meetings. Since October 25, 2021, the City Council has adopted a Resolution each month renewing its declaration to continue meeting remotely for the next 30 days.

6.h
January 09, 2023

Packet Pg. 218

Since May 9, 2022, the City Council and Planning and Transportation Commission meetings have been conducted in-person, with an option for the public to participate remotely via Zoom. The Economic Development Advisory Commission, Parks, Recreation and Culture Commission and Youth Advisory Council have since decided to transition to in-person meetings as well. The Residential Design Review Committee continues to conduct its meetings remotely.

With hospitalizations and deaths dramatically reduced due to the state’s vaccination and public health efforts, the Governor announced on October 17, 2022, that the COVID-19 State of Emergency will end on February 28, 2023. Until then, the City may continue making findings and adopting a Resolution every thirty days authorizing remote teleconference meetings pursuant to Assembly Bill 361. After the State of Emergency is lifted, remote access to meetings will only be allowed under the original teleconferencing rules or Assembly Bill 2449 (“AB 2449”) procedures.

AB 2449 was signed into law on September 12, 2022 amending the Brown Act restrictions for legislative bodies to participate in meetings remotely. Attachment 3 is a memo from the City Attorney’s firm detailing this new remote meeting law. Staff have determined that the provisions set forth in AB 2449 are not feasible for the commissions that hold untelevised meetings, thus starting March 1, 2023, all City commissions, aside from the Planning and Transportation Commission, will hold their meetings in-person, and if there’s a need for a commissioner to participate remotely, they will do so under the traditional teleconferencing rules. This information has been communicated with the commissions.

The City Clerk and City Attorney are working together to determine the implementation of AB 2449 for the Council and Planning and Transportation Commission meetings and will provide an update to the respective bodies when ready.

ANALYSIS:

Adopting the proposed Resolution will provide commissions with the option to continue holding remote meetings through February 13, 2023. In addition, members of the City Council and Planning and Transportation Commission will have the flexibility to participate via teleconference in the event of a potential COVID-19 exposure or COVID-19 related concerns, such as an asymptomatic infection or concerns that an infection might occur at a remote location when a councilmember or commissioner has an active infection. If the Council approves the proposed Resolution, staff will present a staff report to Council every thirty days through the end February 2023 (when the State of Emergency is anticipated to end) to verify that the circumstances continue to exist.

If the Council does not adopt a Resolution this evening to authorize remote meetings pursuant to AB 361, beginning January 10, 2023, all commissions will need to transition back to in-person public meetings and any remote participation from members of the City Council and Commissions would need to be done according to the traditional Brown Act’s teleconferencing requirements, which include identifying the teleconference location on the agenda of the meeting and allowing members of the public to attend the meeting at the teleconference location.

ALTERNATIVES:

The alternatives available to the City Council include:

1. Adopt a resolution making findings and authorizing remote teleconference meetings of the City Council and Commissions pursuant to AB 361; or

WHEREAS, the Residential Design Review Committee continues to conduct its meetings remotely; and

CHAPTER 165
An act to add and repeal Section 89305.6 of the Education Code, and to amend, repeal, and add Section 54953 of, and to add and repeal Section 11133 of, the Government Code, relating to open meetings, and declaring the urgency thereof, to take effect immediately.
[Approved by Governor September 16, 2021. Filed with
Secretary of State September 16, 2021.]
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 361, Robert Rivas. Open meetings: state and local agencies:
teleconferences.
(1) Existing law, the Ralph M. Brown Act requires, with speci fied exceptions, that all meetings of a legislative body of a local agency, as those terms are defined, be open and public and that all persons be permitted to attend and participate. The act contains speci fied provisions regarding the timelines for posting an agenda and providing for the ability of the public to directly address the legislative body on any item of interest to the public.

The act generally requires all regular and special meetings of the legislative body be held within the boundaries of the territory over which the local agency exercises jurisdiction, subject to certain exceptions. The act allows for meetings to occur via teleconferencing subject to certain requirements, particularly that the legislative body notice each teleconference location of each member that will be participating in the public meeting, that each teleconference location be accessible to the public, that members of the public be allowed to address the legislative body at each teleconference location, that the legislative body post an agenda at each teleconference location, and that at least a quorum of the legislative body participate from locations within the boundaries of the local agency’s jurisdiction. The act provides an exemption to the jurisdictional requirement for health authorities, as defined. The act authorizes the district attorney or any interested person, subject to certain provisions, to commence an action by mandamus or injunction for the purpose of obtaining a judicial determination that specified actions taken by a legislative body are null and void.

Existing law, the California Emergency Services Act, authorizes the Governor, or the Director of Emergency Services when the governor is inaccessible, to proclaim a state of emergency under specified circumstances.

Executive Order No. N-29-20 suspends the Ralph M. Brown Act’s requirements for teleconferencing during the COVID-19 pandemic provided that notice and accessibility requirements are met, the public members are allowed to observe and address the legislative body at the meeting, and that a legislative body of a local agency has a procedure for receiving and swiftly 92 STATE OF CALIFORNIA

resolving requests for reasonable accommodation for individuals with disabilities, as specified.

This bill, until January 1, 2024, would authorize a local agency to use teleconferencing without complying with the teleconferencing requirements imposed by the Ralph M. Brown Act when a legislative body of a local agency holds a meeting during a declared state of emergency, as that term is defined, when state or local health officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing, during a proclaimed state of emergency held for the purpose of determining, by majority vote, whether meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees, and during a proclaimed state of emergency when the legislative body has determined that meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees, as provided.

This bill would require legislative bodies that hold teleconferenced meetings under these abbreviated teleconferencing procedures to give notice of the meeting and post agendas, as described, to allow members of the public to access the meeting and address the legislative body, to give notice of the means by which members of the public may access the meeting and offer public comment, including an opportunity for all persons to attend via a call-in option or an internet-based service option, and to conduct the meeting in a manner that protects the statutory and constitutional rights of the parties and the public appearing before the legislative body. The bill would require the legislative body to take no further action on agenda items when there is a disruption which prevents the public agency from broadcasting the meeting, or in the event of a disruption within the local agency’s control which prevents members of the public from offering public comments, until public access is restored. The bill would specify that actions taken during the disruption are subject to challenge proceedings, as specified.

This bill would prohibit the legislative body from requiring public comments to be submitted in advance of the meeting and would specify that the legislative body must provide an opportunity for the public to address the legislative body and offer comment in real time. The bill would prohibit the legislative body from closing the public comment period and the opportunity to register to provide public comment, until the public comment period has elapsed or until a reasonable amount of time has elapsed, as specified. When there is a continuing state of emergency, or when state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing, the bill would require a legislative body to make speci fied findings not later than 30 days after the first teleconferenced meeting pursuant to these provisions, and to make those findings every 30 days thereafter, in order to continue to meet under these abbreviated teleconferencing procedures.

Existing law prohibits a legislative body from requiring, as a condition to attend a meeting, a person to register the person’s name, or to provide other information, or to ful fill any condition precedent to the person’s attendance.

This bill would exclude from that prohibition, a registration requirement imposed by a third-party internet website or other online platform not under the control of the legislative body.
(2) Existing law, the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act, requires, with specified exceptions, that all meetings of a state body be open and public and all persons be permitted to attend any meeting of a state body. The act requires at least one member of the state body to be physically present at the location specified in the notice of the meeting.

The Governor’s Executive Order No. N-29-20 suspends the requirements of the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act for teleconferencing during the COVID-19 pandemic, provided that notice and accessibility requirements are met, the public members are allowed to observe and address the state body at the meeting, and that a state body has a procedure for receiving and swiftly resolving requests for reasonable accommodation for individuals with disabilities, as specified.

This bill, until January 31, 2022, would authorize, subject to speci fied notice and accessibility requirements, a state body to hold public meetings through teleconferencing and to make public meetings accessible telephonically, or otherwise electronically, to all members of the public seeking to observe and to address the state body. With respect to a state body holding a public meeting pursuant to these provisions, the bill would suspend certain requirements of existing law, including the requirements that each teleconference location be accessible to the public and that members of the public be able to address the state body at each teleconference location. Under the bill, a state body that holds a meeting through teleconferencing and allows members of the public to observe and address the meeting telephonically or otherwise electronically would satisfy any requirement that the state body allow members of the public to attend the meeting and offer public comment. The bill would require that each state body that holds a meeting through teleconferencing provide notice of the meeting, and post the agenda, as provided. The bill would urge state bodies utilizing these teleconferencing procedures in the bill to use sound discretion and to make reasonable efforts to adhere as closely as reasonably possible to existing law, as provided.
(3) Existing law establishes the various campuses of the California State University under the administration of the Trustees of the California State University, and authorizes the establishment of student body organizations in connection with the operations of California State University campuses.

The Gloria Romero Open Meetings Act of 2000 generally requires a legislative body, as defined, of a student body organization to conduct its business in a meeting that is open and public. The act authorizes the legislative body to use teleconferencing, as de fined, for the bene fit of the public and the legislative body in connection with any meeting or proceeding authorized by law.

This bill, until January 31, 2022, would authorize, subject to speci fied notice and accessibility requirements, a legislative body, as de fined for purposes of the act, to hold public meetings through teleconferencing and 92 Ch. 165— 3 —

to make public meetings accessible telephonically, or otherwise electronically, to all members of the public seeking to observe and to address the legislative body. With respect to a legislative body holding a public meeting pursuant to these provisions, the bill would suspend certain requirements of existing law, including the requirements that each teleconference location be accessible to the public and that members of the public be able to address the legislative body at each teleconference location.

Under the bill, a legislative body that holds a meeting through teleconferencing and allows members of the public to observe and address the meeting telephonically or otherwise electronically would satisfy any requirement that the legislative body allow members of the public to attend the meeting and offer public comment. The bill would require that each legislative body that holds a meeting through teleconferencing provide notice of the meeting, and post the agenda, as provided. The bill would urge legislative bodies utilizing these teleconferencing procedures in the bill to use sound discretion and to make reasonable efforts to adhere as closely as reasonably possible to existing law, as provided.
(4) This bill would declare the Legislature’s intent, consistent with the Governor’s Executive Order No. N-29-20, to improve and enhance public access to state and local agency meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic and future emergencies by allowing broader access through teleconferencing options.
(5) This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 54953 of the Government Code proposed by AB 339 to be operative only if this bill and AB 339 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.
(6) The California Constitution requires local agencies, for the purpose of ensuring public access to the meetings of public bodies and the writings of public officials and agencies, to comply with a statutory enactment that amends or enacts laws relating to public records or open meetings and contains findings demonstrating that the enactment furthers the constitutional requirements relating to this purpose.

This bill would make legislative findings to that effect. (7) Existing constitutional provisions require that a statute that limits the right of access to the meetings of public bodies or the writings of public officials and agencies be adopted with findings demonstrating the interest protected by the limitation and the need for protecting that interest.

This bill would make legislative findings to that effect. (8) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1. Section 89305.6 is added to the Education Code, to read:

SEC. 6. It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this act to improve and enhance public access to state and local agency meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic and future applicable emergencies, by allowing broader access through teleconferencing options consistent with the Governor’s Executive Order No. N-29-20 dated March 17, 2020, permitting expanded use of teleconferencing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

SEC. 7. The Legislature finds and declares that Sections 3 and 4 of this act, which amend, repeal, and add Section 54953 of the Government Code, further, within the meaning of paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution, the purposes of that constitutional section as it relates to the right of public access to the meetings of local public bodies or the writings of local public of ficials and local agencies. Pursuant to paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution, the Legislature makes the following findings:

This act is necessary to ensure minimum standards for public participation and notice requirements allowing for greater public participation in teleconference meetings during applicable emergencies.

SEC. 8. (a) The Legislature finds and declares that during the COVID-19 public health emergency, certain requirements of the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act (Article 9 (commencing with Section 11120) of Chapter 1 of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code) were suspended by Executive Order N-29-20. Audio and video teleconference were widely used to conduct public meetings in lieu of physical location meetings, and public meetings conducted by teleconference during the COVID-19 public health emergency have been productive, have increased public participation by all members of the public regardless of their location in the state and ability to travel to physical meeting locations, have protected the health and safety of civil servants and the public, and have reduced travel costs incurred by members of state bodies and reduced work hours spent traveling to and from meetings.

(b) The Legislature finds and declares that Section 1 of this act, which adds and repeals Section 89305.6 of the Education Code, Section 2 of this act, which adds and repeals Section 11133 of the Government Code, and Sections 3 and 4 of this act, which amend, repeal, and add Section 54953 of the Government Code, all increase and potentially limit the public’s right of access to the meetings of public bodies or the writings of public officials and agencies within the meaning of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution. Pursuant to that constitutional provision, the Legislature makes the following findings to demonstrate the interest protected by this limitation and the need for protecting that interest:
(1) By removing the requirement that public meetings be conducted at a primary physical location with a quorum of members present, this act protects the health and safety of civil servants and the public and does not preference the experience of members of the public who might be able to attend a meeting in a physical location over members of the public who cannot travel or attend that meeting in a physical location. (2) By removing the requirement for agendas to be placed at the location of each public official participating in a public meeting remotely, including from the member’s private home or hotel room, this act protects the personal, private information of public of ficials and their families while preserving the public’s right to access information concerning the conduct of the people’s business.

SEC. 9. This act is an urgency statute necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety within the meaning of Article IV of the California Constitution and shall go into immediate effect.

The facts constituting the necessity are:

In order to ensure that state and local agencies can continue holding public meetings while providing essential services like water, power, and fire protection to their constituents during public health, wildfire, or other states of emergencies, it is necessary that this act take effect immediately.

(a) childcare or caregiving of a child, parent, grandparent, grandchild, sibling, spouse, or domestic partner that requires a member to participate remotely; (b) a contagious illness that prevents a member from attending in person; (c) a need related to a physical or mental disability; or (d) travel while on business of the legislative body or another state or local agency.

In order to participate remotely under the just cause provisions, the member must notify the legislative body at the earliest possible opportunity, including at the start of a meeting, of their need to participate remotely and provide a general description of the circumstances related to one of the four items above.

A member may only participate remotely under the just cause provisions up to two meetings per calendar year.

2. Emergency Circumstances
Emergency circumstances means a physical or family medical emergency that prevents a member from attending in person.

In order to participate remotely under the emergency circumstances provisions, the member must request that the legislative body allow them to participate in the meeting remotely because of emergency circumstances and the legislative body must take action to approve the request.

A member must make a request to participate remotely under the emergency circumstances provisions as soon as possible. The legislative body may take action on this request at the earliest opportunity. If the request does not allow sufficient time to place it on the agenda for the meeting for which the request is made, the legislative body may take action on the request at the beginning of the meeting by majority vote.

RIV #4884-6284-2933 v2
The legislative body must request a general description of the circumstances relating to the member’s need to appear remotely. This description does not have to be more than 20 words and the member does not have to disclose any personal medical information.

Additional Rules if Members Participate Remotely
If agency members participate remotely under this new law for either the just cause or emergency circumstances situations described above then the following rules apply:
x The legislative body must provide a way for the public to remotely hear, visually observe, and remotely address the legislative body, either by a two-way audiovisual platform or a two-way telephonic service and a live webcasting of the meeting. x The legislative body must provide notice of how the public can access the meeting and offer comments.
x The agenda must identify and include an opportunity for the public to attend and directly address the legislative body through a call-in option, an internet-based service option, and in-person at the location of the meeting.
x The body cannot require comments to be submitted before the start of the meeting. The public must be allowed to make “real time” public comment.

x If there is a disruption to the meeting broadcast or in the ability to take call-in or internet- based public comment, no further action can be taken on agenda items until the issue is resolved.
x The legislative body must implement a procedure for receiving and resolving requests for reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities, and must give notice of these procedures.
x Members participating remotely must participate through both audio and visual technology.
x Members participating remotely must 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 the individual.
x A member may not participate in meetings solely by teleconference under this law for more than three consecutive months or 20% of the regular meetings for the public agency within a calendar year. If the legislative body regularly meets less than 10 times a year, a member may not participate remotely for more than two meetings.

Legislative bodies may still meet via teleconference by following the traditional Brown Act rules of identifying the teleconference site on the agency’s agenda and ensuring it is accessible for the public to attend. Further, legislative bodies may meet by teleconference under AB 361 until January 1, 2024 during the Governor’s proclaimed State of Emergency and as long as other requirements are met.

CITY COUNCIL

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: January 9, 2023
ITEM TITLE: Consideration of Making Appointments to the City Council Subcommittees and Ad Hoc Committees for 2023 and, if Needed, Establishing and Appointing Representatives to New
Subcommittees.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council appoint representatives and alternates to selected boards, committees, and authorities as deemed appropriate.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None for this action.

BACKGROUND:

Appointments to various committees are traditionally made annually following the City Council’s reorganization. The City of San Carlos Code of Conduct & Ethics Policy for Council Members and Appointed Officials indicates that the mayor is the presiding officer of the City Council and in this capacity “... is responsible for . . . appointing Council Members to standing or ad hoc committees.

The mayor is also responsible for appointing Council Members to certain county and regional boards and committees.”
The City Council is asked to discuss and consider the recommended appointments in Attachment 1, “2023 City Council Regional JPAs, Boards, and Committee Assignments,” before voting to approve.

ANALYSIS:

The Mayor may recommend adding or eliminating subcommittees or make changes to the primary and alternate Council appointments. Attachment 1 titled “ Proposed 2023 City Council Regional JPAs, Boards, and Committee Assignments” includes the Mayor’s recommendations for 2023.

ALTERNATIVES:

The alternatives available to the City Council include:

1. Approve the Mayor’s recommended appointments for Councilmember representation on select boards, committees, and authorities; or
