On March 17, 2020, the Governor issued Executive Order N-29-20 suspending certain
provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act in order to allow for local legislative bodies to conduct
their meetings telephonically or by other electronic means. Pursuant to the Governor's
Executive Order N-33-20 issued on March 19, 2020, and the CDC's social distancing guidelines
which discourage large public gatherings, the Council Chambers will not be open to the public
for the September 21, 2020 City Council Meeting.
Members of the public may view the meeting by logging into the Zoom meeting listed below.
Additionally, the meeting will be streamed live on YouTube and uploaded to the City's website
after the meeting.
Members of the public may provide written comments by email to
publiccomment@burlingame.org.
Emailed comments should include the specific agenda item on which you are commenting, or
note that your comment concerns an item that is not on the agenda or is on the Consent
Calendar. The length of the emailed comment should be commensurate with the three
minutes customarily allowed for verbal comments, which is approximately 250-300 words. To
ensure that your comment is received and read to the City Council for the appropriate agenda
item, please submit your email no later than 5:00 p.m. on September 21, 2020. The City will
make every effort to read emails received after that time, but cannot guarantee such emails will
be read into the record. Any emails received after the 5:00 p.m. deadline which are not read
into the record, will be provided to the City Council after the meeting.
All votes are unanimous unless separately noted for the record.
