Agenda
- Public comment
Opportunity for the public to comment on any matters within the Committee’s jurisdiction that are not on the agenda.
- Resolution to allow teleconferencing
Discussion and Possible Action Regarding Adoption of AB 361 Resolution for Policy Bodies such as Citizens’ General Obligation Bond Oversight Committee to meet during the COVID-19 Emergency via Teleconference..
RESOLVED, That the Citizens’ General Obligation Bond 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 Citizens’ General Obligation Bond 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 Citizens’ General Obligation Bond 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 Citizens’ General Obligation Bond 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 Citizens’ General Obligation Bond Oversight Committee is directed to place a resolution substantially similar to this resolution on the agenda of a future meeting of the Citizens’ General Obligation Bond Oversight Committee within the next 30 days. If the Citizens’ General Obligation Bond 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 Citizens’ General Obligation Bond Oversight Committee.
