SUBJECT: AMENDMENTS TO COUNCIL’S POLICIES AND PROCEDURES TO IMPLEMENT SENATE BILL 707 UPDATES TO THE BROWN ACT

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Draft Resolution approving amendments to the Council Policies and Procedures for the implementation of Senate Bill 707, including the adoption of Disruption of Telephonic and/or Internet Services Policy. (Attachment A)

REPORT-IN-BRIEF
Senate Bill 707 (SB 707), enacted in 2025, implements several updates to the Brown Act intended to strengthen transparency, clarify meeting procedures, and standardize public access requirements for local legislative bodies. Key provisions include expanded expectations for remote participation, revised noticing rules, updated public comment requirements, and enhanced administrative documentation standards. Under the terms of SB 707, the City will be mandated to provide remote participation options to the public for City Council meetings.

SB 707 also introduces specific thresholds for when translation services must be provided at public meetings; however, based on current demographic analysis, the City of San Luis Obispo does not meet the required thresholds that would trigger mandatory language-access services. The bill further clarifies teleconferencing rules for subsidiary legislative bodies, but due to the substantial administrative and staffing resources required to support compliant teleconferenced meetings, staff is not recommending the use of teleconferencing for these bodies at this time. This report provides an overview of the legislation, summarizes its applicability to the City, and outlines staff’s recommendations to ensure continued compliance and preparedness as State guidance and local conditions evolve.

POLICY CONTEXT
On October 3, 2025, Governor Newsom signed Senate Bill 707 (SB 707), which amends the Brown Act with the intent to diversify and increase public engagement during local government meetings of legislative bodies. Among the various new requirements under

Item 7c
SB 707, all qualified legislative bodies must now offer hybrid meetings (through a twoway phone or video platform).

The Council Policies and Procedures Manual, Chapter One – Meeting Guidelines & Procedures was last updated on May 2, 2023, and outlines the meeting guidelines and procedures for City Council meetings. Amendments to this Chapter must be made to comply with SB 707. Any amendments to Council Policies and Procedures must be made by Resolution.

DISCUSSION
Background
SB 707 updates several key provisions of the Brown Act. While the legislation maintains the core intent of ensuring open and transparent governance, it provides new direction regarding procedural standards and public access. Major themes within the bill include strengthened notice requirements, refined expectations for remote participation, and clarified rules for closed sessions and public comment. A high-level summary of these provisions is provided below.
• Clarifies procedural requirements for local legislative bodies regarding noticing, agenda posting, and public access.
• Updates definitions and terminology within the Brown Act to align with statewide transparency standards.
• Establishes additional expectations for electronic or remote participation, including accessibility and disclosure requirements.
• Reinforces rules regarding closed-session topics and reporting obligations following closed-session meetings.
• Expands or clarifies public comment requirements to ensure consistent opportunities for participation across jurisdictions.
• Introduces administrative compliance expectations for local agencies, including recordkeeping and documentation practices.
• Outlines enforcement considerations and potential consequences for noncompliance with updated provisions.

The provisions of SB 707 take effect in two phases, and the associated changes are outlined accordingly. Most of the required updates are already reflected in the Council Policies and Procedures (CP&P), based on the 2023 Brown Act amendments that allow limited virtual (teleconference) participation by legislative body members. In these cases, only minor amendments are needed.

To support Council’s review, the first column of the following chart identifies each required change. The last column specifies:
• Whether no update is needed because the requirement already exists in the CP&P, including the applicable chapter and section
• Whether an amendment is needed and the chapter and section to be updated • Whether a new section must be added

• Whether no update is necessary because the provision does not apply Part 1 – Provisions Effective January 1, 2026

Teleconferencing – Subsidiary and Multijurisdictional Legislative Bodies SB 707 also updates teleconferencing requirements for subsidiary legislative bodies, including advisory bodies, commissions, and standing committees. Unlike the provision for eligible legislative bodies which is required, subsidiary bodies remote participation is permitted, outlines public-access and noticing standards, and establishes technology and reporting obligations intended to maintain transparency and equal access for in-person and remote attendees. While these provisions provide flexibility, they also impose detailed administrative and staffing responsibilities, including real-time technical support, expanded noticing practices, and additional compliance documentation. Based on the anticipated operational impact and the resources required to support compliant hybrid or fully remote participation and because they are not required, staff is not recommending that subsidiary legislative bodies utilize teleconferencing at this time. Instead, staff recommends maintaining in-person meetings to ensure consistent, reliable public access while minimizing administrative burden.

Section 1.1.4.2
Part 2 – Provisions Effective July 1, 2026 – Eligible Legislative Bodies Applicability, Definitions, and Effective Dates for Provisions Related to “Eligible Legislative Bodies”
Under SB 707, an “eligible body” is a legislative body within a city or county that meets one of the following criteria established in the statute:
• City councils of cities with populations of 30,000 or more. • County boards of supervisors of counties (or city/counties) with populations of 30,000 or more.
• City councils in counties with populations of 600,000 or more.

These criteria determine which jurisdictions must use the bill’s provisions allowing limited virtual (teleconference) participation by members under certain circumstances. Based on its population, the City of San Luis Obispo qualifies as an eligible city, and therefore its legislative bodies fall within the scope of SB 707.

CP&P Chapter One
– Section 1.5
Language Access and Interpretation (Applies to Eligible Legislative Bodies) To identify SB 707 “applicable languages” the most recent American Community Survey Source Information language and English proficiency data was used from table C16001 for the City of San Luis Obispo. The chart below shows the percentage estimated number of Spanish speakers in the City of San Luis Obispo. Since it falls below 20% the requirement to provide translations services does not apply at this time. The full spreadsheet with calculation instructions can be found in the Applicable Languages Spreadsheet Calculations of Attachment D.

SB 707 updates statewide language access requirements for public meetings by requiring local agencies to provide oral and written translation services when specific community language thresholds are met. These standards clarify when translation must be offered, how the public may request accommodation, and when agendas and key documents must be translated. Although the City of San Luis Obispo does not currently meet the population thresholds that trigger mandatory compliance, the legislation aligns with the City’s commitment to transparency, nondiscrimination, and equitable access.

Item 7c
When translation is requested, staff currently advise individuals to bring their own translator or rely on available bilingual staff. Following the passage of SB 707, staff were approached by Wordly, a virtual translation and transcription service used by several California cities.

In 2024, staff joined a California Emerging Technology Fund (CETF) learning community and applied for the Best Practices Checklist Project Learning Community grant. On December 10, 2024, Council authorized acceptance of a $20,000 CETF grant to advance digital equity initiatives aligned with Pillar Two of the DEI Strategic Plan. As part of this effort, staff have been assessing options for automated live translation of City Council meetings.

Staff recommend using the CETF grant to pilot a contract with Wordly to provide translation services upon request. Staff will continue reviewing community language data and monitoring state guidance to ensure readiness for full compliance if requirements change.

Previous Council or Advisory Body Action
On May 2, 2023 the Council Policies and Procedures Manual, Chapter One – Meeting Guidelines & Procedures was updated to implement hybrid City Council meetings based on new teleconferencing regulations adopted by AB2449.

On April 2, 2024, the Council Policies and Procedures Manual Chapter 2.1 Salaries For Mayor and Council Members was amended to provide CPI increases to Mayor and Council Members salary.

On September 17, 2024 the Council Policies and Procedures Manual Section 2.5 – General Procedures and Limitation of the Council Compensation Chapter was amended to add 2.5.6 Council Volunteers which outlines the use of volunteers for Counil Members.

On January 13, 2026 the Council Policies and Procedures Manual Chapter 2.1 Salaries For Mayor and Council Members was amended to provide for salary increases for Mayor and Council Members as recommended by the Council Compensation Committee and to amend Section 2.3 Professional Development which included changing the title to Reimburseable Professional Expenses and establishing an annual travel allowance of $1000 per Council Member who is appointed to a statewide board or policy committee.

Public Engagement
Public Comment can be provided to the City Council through written correspondence received prior to the meeting and through public comment at the meeting.

CONCURRENCE
The City Attorney’s Office and Information Technology Division concur with the recommendations in this report.

Item 7c

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) does not apply to the recommended action in this report, because the action does not constitute a “Project” under CEQA Guidelines Sec. 15378.

Contracting with a service to provide translation services upon request is expected to result in minimal fiscal impact. The City has received a $20,000 grant from the California Emerging Technology Fund to support implementation of digital equity strategies, including evaluation of automated live translation for City Council meetings. This grant will be used to establish a pilot program for FY 2026-27 so staff can evaluate the usage and effectiveness. The fiscal need for ongoing funding will be evaluated in the next Financial Plan.

In 2023, when Council meetings returned to the Council Chambers following COVID, the audio and video systems were upgraded to support remote participation. The only remaining modification is to display the speaker timer on the participant side of the broadcast. This update can be funded within the existing City Clerk budget, and no additional fiscal impacts are anticipated for implementing the current recommendations.

ALTERNATIVES

1. Council could decide not to implement procedures for compliance with SB707.

Council would then be out of compliance with State law.

2. Council could direct staff to make additional revisions to the Council’s Policies and Procedures Manual relating to teleconferencing.

3. Council could immediately direct staff to implement teleconferencing for all the Advisory Bodies. If this is Council’s desire, then staff recommends a phased approach starting with Planning Commission and adding in the remaining bodies after

Item 7c
staff has time to evaluate the actual staffing and additional administrative effects of teleconferencing.

FOREWORD
San Luis Obispo is a "charter" city as contrasted to a "general law" city. Under California law, the authority of a general law city is derived only from the powers granted to it by the general laws adopted by the State Legislature pertaining to the organization and operation of a municipality, and from the police power (the right of the City to make laws governing health, safety, morals and welfare for the benefit of the community) granted to it by the State Constitution. On the other hand, a charter city's power is not defined or limited by the State's general laws. Instead, with respect to municipal affairs, a charter city's powers are defined by the city's own charter, subject only to the limitations of the State Constitution. As a result, charter cities usually have more operational latitude than do the more prevalent general law cities.

A charter serves as the city's "constitution" and may only be amended by a vote of the people.

San Luis Obispo's Charter was first adopted on May 1, 1876, and has been amended by popular vote on several occasions subsequently. In 1955, the Charter was amended to approve a Council-Mayor-City Manager form of government. The last charter revision occurred in September 2012.

The word "charter" and the notation, e.g. (Charter § 503) used within this document refer to the City Charter.

Favorable consideration shall be given to other governmental agencies and non-profit groups during regular business hours only, unless otherwise approved by the City Manager (see exception noted in Section 1.1.5.2.c).

1.2 AGENDA

1.2.1 ESTABLISHING THE COUNCIL AGENDA
The purpose of the agenda is to provide a framework within which Council meetings can be conducted and to effectively implement the approved Council Goals, Financial Plan and Budget, and also work programs, objectives, and business of the City as established by the present or earlier City Councils. Agenda items also include recommendations to the City Council from advisory bodies, land use and zoning actions or appeals, bid and purchasing procedures, and mandates from other levels of

Council Policies & Procedures Manual (rev. 05/05/2026) Page 8 government. Staff shall work within the policy context established by the Council and will not arbitrarily place matters on the agenda that are outside the scope of existing work programs of the City, except as approved by the Mayor, and permitted under the Charter sanctioned instructions for the City Manager to inform and advise the Council of matters necessary to the proper operation and well-being of the City.

The process for determining the format and order of the agenda is based primarily on the order of business adopted by the City Council (See Section

1.2.7). The process for establishing the order of specific business and public hearing items is a collaborative one determined largely by anticipated public attendance (those matters involving greater audience attendance should be scheduled ahead of other items). On a rotating basis, individual members of the Council shall attend agenda review meetings with the City Manager and department heads held on the morning of the City Council meeting to discuss issues and to review upcoming agenda items. In addition, the City Manager, City Attorney and City Clerk review the agenda materials with the Mayor. The final agenda is set subject to the approval of the Mayor, after consultation with the City Manager, City Attorney and City Clerk.

1.2.2 PLACING AN ITEM ON THE AGENDA (COUNCIL MEMBER)
Any Council Member may request an item be placed on a future agenda by submitting a request, orally or in writing, to consider the matter and by discussing the request during the Communications section of the regular agenda. Upon consensus of a majority of the Council, staff will prepare a staff report if formal Council action is required. An individual Council Member may place an urgency item on an agenda with a minimum of 72 hours legal notice and a memorandum from the Council Member to the Council and staff setting forth the substantive issues of the item. For the purpose of this paragraph, urgency shall arise in those limited situations where an item requires immediate action, and the need to take immediate action came to the attention of the Council Member subsequent to the distribution of the agenda.

1.2.3 PLACING AN ITEM ON THE AGENDA (ADVISORY BODIES)
Recommendations made by advisory bodies, as part of their normal scope of duties and responsibilities, shall be timely placed on the City Council agenda by staff, who shall comply with the City’s approved Council Agenda Preparation Policy. In the event that an advisory body desires to bring a matter of special consideration to the City Council (new ideas or concerns, for example), it may request that the item be placed on a future agenda by submitting a written request to the Council approved by a majority of the advisory body members and signed by the Chair. During Communications, any member of the Council may ask for consideration of the request, and upon consensus of a majority of the Council, a staff report will be prepared and approved by the City Manager or their designee.

Council Policies & Procedures Manual (rev. 05/05/2026) Page 9

1.2.4 PLACING AN ITEM ON THE AGENDA (THE PUBLIC)
A member of the public may request an item be placed on a future agenda during the Public Comment period at the beginning of every Council meeting, or via other communication with Council Members, and upon consensus of a majority of Council, a staff report will be prepared and approved by the City Manager or their designee.

1.2.5 EMERGENCY ITEMS
Emergency items may be placed on the agenda only in accordance with State law. Generally, only those matters affecting public health or safety and coming to the attention of the Council after the regular notice deadlines may be considered an emergency in nature. A four-fifths vote of Council is necessary to add an emergency item.

1.2.6 RECONSIDERATION
Resubmittal of issues previously acted upon is discouraged. However, in extraordinary situations, a request to reconsider an action taken by the City Council may be considered. The request must be presented by a Council Member who voted with the majority at the Council meeting at which the original vote was taken. The vote may be reconsidered during that meeting, but no later than the next Council meeting. Debate is limited to the question of whether or not there is a majority of the Council interested in reconsidering the matter. If a majority of the Council votes to reconsider an action, the matter will be placed on the next or future agenda.

Subpoenas may be issued in the name of the City and be attested by the City Clerk. Disobedience of such subpoena or the refusal to testify (upon other than constitutional grounds), shall be deemed contempt and shall be punishable as provided by the general laws of the State. (Charter § 507)

3.5 LIMITATIONS
No member of the Council shall be appointed to or serve as a voting member of any City advisory body, whether composed of citizen volunteers, City employees, or a combination of both. This is not to be construed as prohibiting members of the

3.6 METHOD OF ACTION BY COUNCIL
All action by the Council shall be taken only by means of ordinance, resolution, or oral motion duly made and passed.

(Resolution No. 8443)

The entire City organization conducts its business in compliance with the Ralph M.

4.2.6 PUBLIC DISRUPTIONS
The Presiding Officer may call a recess if a speaker or group of speakers become unruly and/or interferes with the orderly conduct of the meeting.

Only work stoppages, crippling disasters or other activities that severely impair the public health and/or safety qualify for emergency meetings. (GC § 54956.5.)

4.5 ELECTRONIC MAIL (EMAIL), THE PUBLIC RECORDS ACT, SOCIAL MEDIA

AND THE BROWN ACT
City email is no less a part of “official city business” than any other written correspondence, and there is no expectation of privacy for City email messages.

Good judgment and common sense should therefore prevail at all times regarding its appropriate use. For further detail, please see the City’s “Electronic Mail Policy” and Chapter 5 of this manual.

City email is subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act and is subject to the requirements of the Brown Act. While the Brown Act does not prohibit the use of email to make individual contacts between members of the Council, or the public or staff, great care should be taken to avoid the use of email to contact a majority of the Council, either individually or serially, “in a connected plan to engage in collective deliberation on public business.”

4.5.1 CITY EMAIL
City email is no less a part of “official city business” than any other written correspondence, and there is no expectation of privacy for City email messages. Good judgment and common sense should therefore prevail at all times regarding its appropriate use. For further detail, please see the City’s “Electronic Mail Policy” and Chapter 5 of this manual.

City email is subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act and is subject to the requirements of the Brown Act. While the Brown Act does not prohibit the use of email to make individual contacts between members of

Council Policies & Procedures Manual (rev. 05/05/2026) Page 38 the Council, or the public or staff, great care should be taken to avoid the use of email to contact a majority of the Council, either individually or serially, “in a connected plan to engage in collective deliberation on public business.”

4.5.2 PRIVATE SOCIAL MEDIA AND DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS
The City does not provide or support individual social media accounts for councilmembers. Councilmembers that maintain personal social and other digital media accounts should be aware that, similar to City email or any other written or recorded communication related to the official conduct of city business, digital communications, social media posts and messages by public officials regarding matters that are before the City for action or within City jurisdiction can be “official city business” subject to laws and policies regarding freedom of speech, records retention and production, and public transparency. Those laws and policies include, but are not necessarily limited to, the California and United States Constitution, the California Public Records Act, the Ralph M. Brown Act, and the City’s records retention regulations.

It is the intent of this policy to ensure that councilmembers are aware that digital and social media communications regarding public business that are conducted using private networks, accounts or devices may be subject to the same laws as other records of public business and that mishandling of such communications in violation of applicable laws may subject to councilmembers and the city to liability under applicable laws and may result in censure of a violating councilmember. This policy is intended to establish parameters for the management of public, private and political digital and social media accounts in compliance with applicable laws and in a manner that avoids the potential for public confusion regarding public, private and campaign related digital and social media activities of councilmembers.

A councilmember or mayor participating in digital or social media communications shall maintain and clearly delineate between separate accounts for official, and personal or campaign statements, taking precaution not to convey personal or campaign communications in a manner that suggests such communications represent the position of the City or the City Council as a whole. To avoid ambiguity, all statements, headings, profile pictures, or biographies on personal or campaign accounts shall not be made in the name of the position to which the councilmember or mayor was elected, shall clearly reflect that content on such accounts does not represent the official positions of the City or the City Council, and shall not display the City logo or any other official City mark or title. There is no California law requiring public officials to use only government accounts to conduct public business, but there should be no expectation of privacy if personal accounts are used to conduct public business.

Council Policies & Procedures Manual (rev. 05/05/2026) Page 39 Statements on official sites and accounts shall contain only official City positions, policies, or announcements, and all contents and messages communicated on such accounts are subject to the California Public Records Act. If a councilmember receives an electronic communication regarding city business on a personal account, they should copy that information to their official city account for transparency and ease of access for public records requests.

Digital records relating to public business are required to be in a manner capable of maintaining the record for the applicable retention period, including through the use of highlights, bins, or archives for temporary and disappearing stories, reels, posts, or otherwise. Likewise, public officials should avoid deleting comments or blocking individuals on official pages or sites they maintain. In the event that a councilmember deletes or removes content or blocks a user for threatening, harassing, or discriminatory content that the councilmember believes constitutes an imminent threat or violation of harassment or discrimination laws, a copy of the deleted or removed content shall be saved or retained consistent with city records retention policies and this policy. Social media content should be treated the same as any written document and retained in accordance with the City retention schedules or the minimum two-year period required under California Government Code.

4.5.3 4.5.3 SOCIAL MEDIA AND BROWN ACT COMPLIANCE
To avoid any violations of the Brown Act, consistent with the update provided by AB 992, councilmembers are permitted to use a social media platform to engage in conversations or communications on matters within the subject matter jurisdiction of the Council: (a) to answer questions; (b) to provide information to the public, and (c) to solicit information from the public. However, a majority of councilmembers may not use social media to “discuss among themselves” official business. AB 992 broadly defines the meaning of “discuss among themselves” to include any “communications made, posted, or shared on an internet-based social media platform between members of a legislative body, including comments or use of digital icons that express reactions to communications made by other members of the legislative body.” AB 992 prohibits a councilmember from communicating directly with the social media of any other member on a subject within the jurisdiction of the Council.

This social media guidance applies to all internet based social media platforms that are “open and accessible to the public,” including, but not limited to, blogs, podcasts, Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Nextdoor, and Reddit.

Council Policies & Procedures Manual (rev. 05/05/2026) Page 40

4.6 OTHER PROVISIONS
The Brown Act provides for many other restrictions and requirements; this chapter is intended merely as a Council summary and overview of the Act, and nothing in this Chapter supersedes the provisions of the Brown Act. Since State law constantly changes, it is important to ensure Council has the latest information.

Additional information may be obtained from the City Attorney and/or the City Clerk.

Council Policies & Procedures Manual (rev. 05/05/2026) Page 41

CHAPTER FIVE

COUNCIL/STAFF RELATIONSHIPS AND CONDUCT

5.1 INTENT
The City Council as a whole retains full power to accept, reject, amend, influence, or otherwise guide and direct staff actions, decisions, recommendations, workloads and schedules, departmental priorities, and the conduct of City business.

This chapter addresses the relationship and conduct between Council Members and staff with the intent of the Council to: 1) affirm that governing shall be by will of the collective Council, and 2) establish guidelines for Council and staff to ensure orderly, consistent and open City government.

5.2 GUIDELINES FOR COUNCIL MEMBERS
The Council shall recognize that the primary functions of staff are to execute Council policy and actions taken by the Council, and to keep the Council informed.

5.2.1 REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION
Individual Council Members as well as the Council as a whole shall be permitted complete freedom of access to any information requested of staff, and shall receive the full cooperation and candor of staff in being provided with any requested information.

Council Members shall make routine requests for information through the appropriate department head. Complex or comprehensive requests for information shall be made through the City Manager.

5.2.2 DIRECTION TO STAFF
Generally, Council Members shall make requests for work to be done through the City Manager. Individual members of the Council shall make no attempt to pressure or influence staff decisions, recommendations, workloads, schedules, or departmental priorities without the prior knowledge and approval of the Council as a whole.

5.3 GUIDELINES FOR STAFF
Staff shall recognize that its primary function is to execute Council policy and to keep the Council informed. Staff shall present the Council with all relevant information, as well as alternatives, in an objective, succinct manner. The City Manager and staff are committed to treating each Council Member equally.

Council Policies & Procedures Manual (rev. 05/05/2026) Page 42

5.3.1 TIMELY RESPONSE
City staff will make every effort to respond in a timely and professional manner to all requests made by individual Council Members for information or assistance, provided that, in the judgment of the City Manager the request is not of a magnitude, either in terms of workload or policy, which would require that it more appropriately be assigned to staff through the collective direction of the City Council. In terms of making this judgment, the following guidelines should be considered: The request should be specific and limited in scope so that staff can respond without altering other priorities and with only minimal delay to other assignments; the request should only impose a "one-time" work requirement, as opposed to an on-going work requirement; the response to the request should not require a significant allocation of staff resources (generally defined as consisting of more than one staff person, or a single staff person working on the issue in excess of 1-2 hours).

5.3.2 DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL
Staff is obligated to take guidance and direction only from the Council as a whole or from the appropriate management superiors as may be the case.

Staff is directed to reject any attempts by individual members of the Council to unduly influence or otherwise pressure them into making, changing or otherwise suppressing staff decisions or recommendations, or changing departmental work schedules and priorities. Staff shall report such attempts to influence them in confidence to the City Manager, who may inform the Council as a whole of such attempts.

5.3.3 STAFF SUPPORT TO INDIVIDUAL COUNCIL MEMBERS
An exception to the above guidelines may be staff work required in support of a Council Member designated by the City Council to represent the City in an intergovernmental role (e.g., membership on Joint Powers Authority), or relative to a special assignment (e.g., a special task force).

5.3.4 INFORMATION DISTRIBUTION
In cases where a staff response to an individual Council Member request involves written material that may be of interest to other Council Members, the City Manager will provide copies of the material to all other Council Members. In making this judgment, the City Manager will consider whether the information is significant or new or otherwise not available to the Council or of interest to the Council.

5.3.5 SIGNIFICANT INFORMATION
Any information, service-related needs, or policy positions perceived as necessary by individual Council Members, which cannot be fulfilled per the above guidelines, should be raised by the individual Council Member under

Council Policies & Procedures Manual (rev. 05/05/2026) Page 43 the "Communications" category of a regularly scheduled City Council meeting. If so directed by the collective action of the Council, then staff will proceed to complete the work within Council-established deadlines.

5.4 ACCESS TO COMMUNICATIONS / TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS
The City will provide each Council Member with equal and appropriate communications and technological devices to facilitate their public service and within the confines of the IT standards for hardware and software specifications.

5.4.1 TELEPHONES
The City will provide at their request, each Council Member with direct access to the City’s telephone system from their homes. Information Technology (IT) staff will coordinate installation of a telephone line and a telephone with voicemail and fax capability for Council Member use at home while in office. The City’s Telephone Use Policy applies to Council Member use of these telephones

5.4.2 COMPUTER WORKSTATIONS & REMOTE ACCESS POLICY
The City will provide each Council Member, at their request, with a complete computer workstation and related City-standard software for their home use while in office. These computers and software will be upgraded or replaced pursuant to the City’s computer replacement policy. Council Member access and use of the City's IT is subject to all City guidelines concerning the use of its information technology resources. The most important of these are:
 The City information systems exist solely for the purpose of conducting City business, not intended for personal use.  All data (including electronic mail messages) is owned by the City and subject to public disclosure.
 All software and hardware installations should be made by IT staff on City-owned machines only. Except for screensavers, personal software is not allowed on City workstations; and all application software must be owned by the City and used in compliance with all software licensing agreements.

All City information technology policies are included in the Information Technology Policies and Procedures Manual, which is available for Council Member review upon request.

Council Policies & Procedures Manual (rev. 05/05/2026) Page 44

5.4.3 SECURITY
Each Council Member shall have a uniquely assigned user name and password for security purposes. While this cannot guarantee privacy, confidentiality, or data security, it is an important component of the City’s overall system protection. Passwords should never be shared with others.

5.4.4 INTERNET ACCESS
Council Members are authorized to use the City Internet connection, which includes electronic mail, for the purpose of conducting City business and communicating with the public. The City Internet Access and Use Policy is applicable to Council Members.

5.4.5 ELECTRONIC MAIL (EMAIL)
Council Members will have access to the City electronic mail (Email) system that will allow Email communication internal to the City and with others via the Internet.

Council Members shall consult with the City Attorney prior to withholding or destroying any document or correspondence received in connection with their service for the City, except as specified herein.

The original will then be placed in the addressee’s City mailbox unopened. If mail has not been retrieved from the Council Member’s mailbox within 2 business days, such mail shall be retrieved by City Clerk’s staff and handled in accordance with Section 5.5.3.

5.5.2.1 Once opened and reviewed by the Council Member, any correspondence that reflects any comment, complaint, inquiry, or request that is or may be related to any matter of City business shall, within 2 business days, be copied as the Council Member deems appropriate and the original document delivered to the City Clerk for handling in accordance with Section 5.5.3.

Items that require staff follow-up include, but may not be limited to, complaints, information requests, service requests, or other similar correspondence. Responses should be provided in the manner they were received (e.g. an e-mail response is

CHAPTER SIX

ADVISORY BODY PROCEDURES

6.1 COUNCIL LIAISON SUBCOMMITTEE MEMBERS

6.1.1 APPOINTMENTS TO COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEES
Subcommittee liaisons to advisory bodies are selected annually by the full Council, usually in December. The Mayor and Vice Mayor shall submit recommendations to the full Council, rotating nominations for Council Member Subcommittees, thereby ensuring an opportunity for each member to serve as liaison at least once on each advisory body, when possible.

When terms of office do not allow each member to serve once, members with greatest seniority shall have first right of selection.

6.1.2 ROLE
Council liaisons do not serve as ex-officio members of the advisory bodies, but rather as a conduit to express the position of the Council and to gain a better understanding of the issues considered by the advisory body.

6.1.3 COMMUNICATION
The purpose of the liaison assignment is to facilitate communication between the Council and advisory body.

6.1.4 EDUCATION
Increase the Council's familiarity with the membership, programs, and issues of the advisory body.

6.1.5 APPOINTMENT RECOMMENDATION
Interview applicants and make recommendations for appointments to the full Council.

6.1.6 ATTENDANCE
From time to time, attend advisory body meetings for observation purposes only. Liaison members should be sensitive to the fact that they are not participating members of the advisory body but are there rather to create a linkage between the City Council and advisory body. In interacting with advisory bodies, Council Members are to reflect the majority view of the Council as a whole, rather than their own personal opinions.

Council Policies & Procedures Manual (rev. 05/05/2026) Page 48

6.2 COUNTY OR REGIONAL REPRESENTATION
Annually, the Mayor shall make appointments to a variety of County and/or regional committees and boards.

The Discussion section contains information relating to the advisory body recommendation.

6.4.2.2 The minutes of the advisory body item are included as an attachment to the Agenda Report.

Council Policies & Procedures Manual (rev. 05/05/2026) Page 49

6.4.4 RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommendations or Reports to Council must be in written form.

6.5 ROLE OF CITY STAFF PERSONS
Staff support and assistance may be provided or made available, but advisory bodies do not have supervisory authority over City employees. While they may work closely with advisory bodies, staff members remain responsible to their immediate supervisors and ultimately to the City Manager and Council. The members are responsible for the functions of the advisory body and the chairperson is responsible for committee compliance with the policies outlined in the Advisory Body Handbook.

Staff support includes preparation of a summary agenda after approval by the Chairperson, and preparation of agenda reports providing a brief background of the issue, a list of alternatives, recommendations, and appropriate backup material, if necessary. Members of advisory bodies are volunteers and should be treated with respect and courtesy. Advisory body members should have sufficient information to reach decisions based upon a clear explanation of the issues. The assigned staff person or designee serves as Secretary, taking minutes as needed.

It is important that advisory bodies wishing to communicate recommendations to the City Council do so through adopted or approved Council agenda procedures.

Staff members shall assist the advising body Chair to insure appropriate legal review or City and state legislation is in compliance.

6.6 APPOINTMENT PROCEDURES
The following procedures shall be the policy of the City Council in regard to appointment of volunteer citizens to the various advisory bodies of the City.

6.6.1 PURPOSE
The establishment of these procedures shall insure that well-qualified, responsible and willing citizens are given the opportunity to serve the City and participate in the governing of their community. These procedures will apply to all appointments and reappointments to standing advisory bodies.

CHAPTER SEVEN

COUNCIL CONFIDENTIALITY POLICY

7.1 PURPOSE AND PROHIBITION AGAINST DISCLOSURE

7.1.1 PURPOSE AND INTENT
In order to keep the City Council fully informed about pertinent legal issues that may impact the City Council's decision-making, the City Attorney and other attorneys retained to represent the City issue confidential legal opinions and/or conducts closed sessions when authorized to do so by the Brown Act. Unauthorized disclosures of confidential information obtained from such confidential communications harm the City by compromising the City’s negotiating positions, diminishing the willingness of City staff and other Council Members to communicate fully and frankly with the City Attorney, and exposing the City to unwarranted litigation risks and significant damages awards against the City. It is the intent of the Council that the City’s confidential information shall be maintained inviolate and that unauthorized disclosures of such information be deterred and/or censured.

7.1.2 PROHIBITION AGAINST DISCLOSURE
No person in receipt of Confidential Information, as defined herein, shall disclose or cause to be disclosed all or part of any confidential information to any unauthorized person.

7.2 PUBLIC CENSURE FOR UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE
Any Council Member disclosing or causing to be disclosed confidential information to any unauthorized person may be subject to public censure by the City Council.

Any censure proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with a process established by the City Council and shall, at a minimum, ensure that no public censure will occur unless the accused Council Member has been provided with notice of the accusation of unauthorized disclosure, the facts supporting such accusation, and an opportunity to be heard regarding the allegations.

7.3 DEFINITIONS
For purposes of this policy, the following words and phrases shall be defined as follows:

7.3.1 CAUSE TO BE DISCLOSED
Failure to exercise due care in maintaining the confidentiality of the Confidential Information, whether verbal or written.

Council Policies & Procedures Manual (rev. 05/05/2026) Page 53

7.3.2 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

7.3.2.1 Any information within the scope of a duly authorized closed session, whether provided orally or in writing, by any attorney, consultant, staff member or Council Member acting within the scope of the closed session (See Gov't. Code Section 54963); or

7.3.2.2 Any oral or written communications by or from the City Attorney, Assistant City Attorney, or any retained counsel representing the City’s legal interests containing the attorney's legal opinions, advice, thoughts, mental impressions or conclusions that are given on behalf of the City.

7.3.2.3 Confidential Information does not include information that is:
required by law to be reported out of closed session; authorized to be disclosed by a majority vote of the City Council; or otherwise authorized to be disclosed under the law.

7.3.3 UNAUTHORIZED PERSON

7.3.3.1 With respect to confidential information communicated during a closed session, any person, other than a Council Member, not in attendance at the closed session; or

7.3.3.2 Any person to whom the oral or written confidential information is not directed or addressed; or

7.3.3.3 Any person who has a disqualifying conflict of interest in the subject matter of the confidential information.

7.3.3.4 Unauthorized person does not include Charter Officers and department heads and the staff of Charter Officers and
department heads, when such persons have a need to know the confidential information in order to discharge the duties of their positions for the benefit of the City.

CHAPTER EIGHT

COUNCIL CENSURE POLICY

8.1 PURPOSE OF CENSURE POLICY
In order to deter violations of law and serious violations of adopted City policies, the City Council may take formal action against its members for such misconduct in the form of censure.

8.2 DEFINITIONS

8.2.1 CENSURE
Censure is a formal Resolution of City Council reprimanding one of its own members for specified conduct, generally a violation of law or of City policy where the violation of policy is considered to be a serious offense. Censure should not follow an occasional error in judgment, which occurs in good faith and is unintentional. Censure carries no fine or suspension of the rights of the member as an elected official, but a censure is a punitive action that serves as a punishment for wrongdoing.

8.3 CENSURE PROCEDURE

8.3.1 Any member of the City Council may submit, in writing to the Chair of the Personnel Board, a complaint and request for a censure hearing concerning an alleged violation of law or serious violation of City policies by another member.

8.3.2 Prior to any formal action by the City Council to censure a member, the person against whom censure is sought is entitled to due process of law, which requires notice and the opportunity to be heard and to refute the evidence against him or her, by means of a censure hearing.

8.3.3 The complaint shall contain specific factual allegations and any supporting evidence of specific conduct alleged to violate existing law or adopted City policies. The Personnel Board within 30 business days shall review the record and either (1) issue an advisory opinion to the Council; or (2) conduct further investigation and/or a hearing on the matter.

8.3.4 A copy of the complaint and request for censure shall be provided to the accused Council Member as soon as possible following receipt, but in no event less than 72-hours prior to the meeting of the Personnel Board at which the complaint and request for a censure hearing will be considered.

8.3.5 The Personnel Board shall consider whether additional investigation is necessary and, if so, shall appoint an ad hoc committee to complete the necessary investigation and make a written report of the investigation to the full Board.

Council Policies & Procedures Manual (rev. 05/05/2026) Page 55

8.3.6 The ad hoc committee will determine the process by which statements are taken. Witnesses may choose to provide a signed declaration under penalty of perjury attesting to his or her knowledge of the facts surrounding the allegations. If a witness is unwilling to submit such a declaration, the Council may issue a subpoena to compel the witness testimony before the Personnel Board, consistent with its subpoena power granted under the City Charter.

8.3.7 The Personnel Board and ad hoc committee, if necessary, shall be staffed by the Assistant City Attorney and such other administrative support staff as may be necessary to assist in its investigation and report to the Council.

8.3.8 Upon completion of its review of the complaint and any additional investigation the committee shall determine if, considering all the facts and evidence, there is sufficient evidence to believe or not believe that the alleged violation of law or serious violation of adopted City policy occurred.

The Personnel Board shall make a written report to the Council stating the specific law or policy alleged to have been violated, and summarizing the complaint, evidence, and the results of any additional investigation. The Board shall also make a recommendation to the Council that the complaint is supported by sufficient evidence of a violation of law or serious violation of adopted City policy to warrant a censure hearing, or, alternatively, that the complaint is not supported by sufficient evidence of a violation of law or serious violation of adopted City policy to warrant a Council censure hearing.

8.3.9 If the Personnel Board determines that the allegations are supported by sufficient evidence and a censure hearing is warranted, the City Clerk shall be notified and shall set the matter for a public censure hearing before the City Council; if the Personnel Board concludes that the allegations are not supported by sufficient evidence and a censure hearing is not warranted, the Board’s recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council and no further action taken, unless the City Council directs, by a majority consensus of the City Council during Council Communications, the matter to be placed on its agenda for further consideration. In either case, a copy of the final report shall be provided to the accused member at the same time it is provided to the City Council.

8.3.10 If a public hearing is set before the City Council, it shall be at least 14 days following the Personnel Board’s recommendation in order to give the member subject to censure adequate time to review the allegations and evidence against him or her and prepare a defense, but no longer than 30 days from the date of the Personnel Board’s recommendation.

Council Policies & Procedures Manual (rev. 05/05/2026) Page 56

8.3.11 At the hearing, the subject member shall be given an opportunity to make an opening statement, closing statement, and to question his or her accusers. The hearing shall not be a formal adversarial hearing and the Rules of Evidence shall not apply to the proceeding. The subject member may choose to be represented and to designate his or her representative to speak on his or her behalf.

8.3.12 A City Council decision to censure requires the adoption of a Resolution making findings, based on substantial evidence that the member has engaged in conduct that constitutes a violation of law or a serious violation of an adopted City policy. The Resolution must be affirmed by at least three affirmative votes of the Council. The accused Council Member shall not participate in the City Council’s deliberations after the public hearing is closed or in any vote by the City Council on the proposed censure.

Policy: Disruption of Telephonic or Internet Service During Public Meetings Senate Bill 707 (2025) amended the Brown Act to require eligible legislative bodies to adopt, on or before July 1, 2026, a policy addressing how the agency will respond to disruptions in telephonic or internet service that prevent members of the public from attending or observing a meeting remotely. This policy is adopted to comply with that requirement and to ensure continuity of public participation during technical disruptions.

 “Disruption” means any failure, outage, or other interruption to the agency’s remote access services that prevents members of the public participating remotely from attending or observing the meeting.
 “Remote access services” means the two-way telephonic service and/or two-way audiovisual platform used to provide real-time remote public attendance and observation of meetings.

3. Applicability
This policy applies to all open and public meetings of the City of San Luis Obispo City Council at which remote public participation is offered via remote access services or required under the Brown Act.

4. Procedures in the Event of a Service Disruption

4.1.Response to Service Disruption
If the Presiding Officer or Clerk becomes aware of a disruption to the agency’s remote access services that prevents members of the public from attending or observing the meeting remotely:

2. The Mayor may then call for a recess of the open session or convene the legislative body in closed session, consistent with the Brown Act.

3. Staff shall begin efforts to diagnose and restore the disrupted service.

4. The meeting shall remain in recess for at least one hour or until service is restored, whichever is sooner. The recess period may be extended if restoration efforts are ongoing.

4.2.Efforts to Restore Service

Technology Disruption Policy Required by SB 707

The agency shall make good faith efforts to restore remote access services, which may include:
 Troubleshooting platform or teleconferencing software  Resetting or replacing audiovisual equipment
 Attempting alternative connection methods
 Contacting necessary support staff or service providers  Switching to back-up equipment or platforms, if available The City Clerk shall document the restoration efforts undertaken.

5. Reconvening the Open Session

5.1.Timing
The open session may be reconvened after at least one hour has elapsed from the time of disruption or as soon as service is restored, whichever occurs earlier.

5.2.If Service Is Restored
If the remote access service is restored before or at the time the meeting reconvenes, the meeting shall continue as normal.

5.3.If Service Is Not Restored
If service has not been restored after one hour, the City Council may reconvene and:

1. Adjourn the meeting; or

2. Continue the meeting in open session by adopting, by roll call vote, the following, or a substantially similar, finding:
“The City of San Luis Obispo has made good faith efforts to restore telephonic or internet service in accordance with its adopted policy, and the public interest in continuing the meeting outweighs the public interest in remote public access.” Upon adoption of the finding, the legislative body may continue the open session despite the fact that remote access services have not been restored.

6. Recordkeeping
The Clerk shall enter a brief statement into the meeting minutes, including the following:
 The nature and time of the disruption
 The restoration efforts undertaken
 The time the meeting was reconvened (if applicable)
 Any finding adopted pursuant to Section 6.3

7. Review and Updates

To keep the calculations consistent, this worksheet uses the ACS Table B16001 or C16001 total (population age 5 and over) as the “applicable population” denominator, so the language counts and population total come from the same ACS table and geography. Using a larger population total that includes residents under age 5 (who are not included in B16001) could lower the calculated percentages and potentially make a language appear below the 20% threshold when it would otherwise qualify.
