BY: Sheri Damon, City Attorney
DATE: December 15, 2022
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION MAKING FINDINGS IN ACCORDANCE WITH AB361: HYBRID MEETINGS AND GOVERNMENT CODE
SECTION 54953 (BROWN ACT) AUTHORIZING
REMOTE/TELECONFERENCE PARTICIPATION IN CITY
MEETINGS
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution making findings under AB361 and Government Code section 54953(e) authorizing teleconference (Zoom) hybrid meetings
BACKGROUND
On or about March 4, 2020, Governor Newsom declared a State of Emergency in the State of California pursuant to Government Code Section 8625 as a result of the COVID19 pandemic and that declaration is ongoing. In the month of April 2022, Monterey County Health Officer reiterated the need for ongoing social distancing and masking due to a substantial increase in COVID infections. In the months of April through August 2022, the City of Seaside has observed an uptick in COVID cases by Seaside residents and City staff. Government Code Section 54953(e), authorizes remote teleconference meetings without complying with the notice requirements of 54953(b) and physical location of Council member participation, so long as the local agency has made appropriate findings and the state continues to be in a state of emergency.
FISCAL IMPACT
Zoom account and on-line services are already included in the budget.

3. The City Manager and City Attorney shall ensure that all City bodies are authorized to conduct their meetings via the hybrid method, including in person and/or fully remote Zoom/teleconference meetings and are directed to take all steps to implement this Resolution including, but not limited to, conducting open and public remote meetings in accordance with the requirements of Government Code section 54953(e) and/or other applicable provisions of the Brown Act.
