December 2, 2021 Special Meeting of Our City, Our Home Oversight Committee

We acknowledge that we are on the unceded ancestral homeland of the Ramaytush Ohlone who are the original inhabitants of the San Francisco Peninsula. As the indigenous stewards of this land and in accordance with their traditions, the Ramaytush Ohlone have never ceded, lost nor forgotten their responsibilities as the caretakers of this place, as well as for all peoples who reside in their traditional territory. As guests, we recognize that we benefit from living and working on their traditional homeland. We wish to pay our respects by acknowledging the ancestors, elders and relatives of the Ramaytush Community and by affirming their sovereign rights as First Peoples.

Approval, with possible modification, of the Minutes of the October 28, 2021 Meeting and the Special Meetings on November 3 and November 4, 2021. (5 min)

Discussion and Possible Action Regarding Teleconferenced Meetings of Policy Bodies during COVID-19 Emergency. (10 min)

RESOLVED, That the Our City, Our Home Oversight Committee finds as follows:

The State of California and the City remain in a state of emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At this meeting, the Our City, Our Home Oversight Committee has considered the circumstances of the state of emergency.  

State and City officials continue to recommend measures to promote physical distancing and other social distancing measures, in some settings.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, conducting meetings of this body in person would present imminent risks to the safety of attendees, and the state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of members to meet safely in person.

FURTHER RESOLVED, That for at least the next 30 days meetings of the Our City, Our Home Oversight Committee will continue to occur exclusively by teleconferencing technology (and not by any in-person meetings or any other meetings with public access to the places where any policy body member is present for the meeting). Such meetings of the Our City, Our Home Oversight Committee that occur by teleconferencing technology will provide an opportunity for members of the public to address this body and will otherwise occur in a manner that protects the statutory and constitutional rights of parties and the members of the public attending the meeting via teleconferencing.

FURTHER RESOLVED, That the secretary and staff of the Our City, Our Home Oversight Committee is directed to place a resolution substantially similar to this resolution on the agenda of a future meeting of the Our City, Our Home Oversight Committee within the next 30 days. If the Our City, Our Home Oversight Committee does not meet within the next 30 days, the staff is directed to place a such resolution on the agenda of the next meeting of the Our City, Our Home Oversight Committee.
