Continue allowing virtual participation in City Council and board meetings
In Plain English
Assembly Bill 361 lets cities hold meetings with remote participation during emergencies. The city has used this since COVID-19 to allow council members and the public to join meetings virtually. If approved, all city boards and commissions can continue meeting this way for another 30 days.

Why This Vote Matters
The city will continue allowing virtual participation in council and commission meetings for another 30 days. This extends the remote meeting option that has been in place since COVID-19, letting both elected officials and residents join meetings online or by phone instead of attending in person. All five council members present voted unanimously to approve this routine extension, with two members absent. This is a standard 30-day renewal that the council regularly considers to maintain flexibility in how meetings are conducted.
