Assembly Bill 361 <br />December 21, 2021 <br />Page 2 <br />2 <br />3 <br />6 <br />5 <br />legislative bodies can make their own findings for the AB 361 telecommuting resolution <br />for future meetings. Determinations to continue to utilize remote meetings as allowed by <br />AB 361 must be re-visited by the legislative body every 30 days with the support of new <br />findings. Staff recommends this extension period to act as a helpful transitional stage for <br />boards, committees, and commissions who still currently meet virtually. <br />On October 5, 2021, November 2, 2021 and December 6, 2021, the City Council adopted <br />Resolution No. 2021-055, Resolution No. 2021-066 and Resolution No. 2021-072, <br />respectively, making the required findings under AB 361 in order to allow the City to <br />continue to offer teleconference accessibility for public meetings after September 30, <br />2021, to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Due to the cancelation of the January 4, <br />2022 City Council Meeting staff is requesting Council adopt the attached resolution <br />(Exhibit 1) to cover and bodies that have meetings scheduled prior to the January 18, <br />2021 City Council meeting. The resolution declares additional findings to allow for the <br />continued use of teleconferencing for City Council, board, commission, and committee <br />meetings pursuant to AB 361. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />There is no environmental impact associated with this action. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. <br />EXHIBIT(S) <br />1.
