Pursuant to Executive Order N-29-20:

legislative body participate in a public meeting by telephone. Certain of these requirements have been suspended
by Paragraph 3 of Executive Order N-29-20, executed by the Governor of California on March 17, 2020, to mitigate
the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19). In particular, the Executive Order suspends that provision of the Brown Act
that requires noticing, posting of agendas, and public access to each location where a member will be participating
telephonically, as well as provisions that require physical presence of members of the legislative body or the public
for purposes of a quorum or to hold a meeting. Executive Order N-29-20 allows an agency to conduct a
teleconference meeting that provides members of the public telephonic or other electronic participation in place of
making a physical location for the public to observe the meeting and provide public comment, consistent with other
provisions of the Brown Act.
