3. CHANGES TO THE ORDER OF THE AGENDA
Town Manager Joe Calabrigo stated that item 6.5 is being continued to a date
uncertain at the request of the property owner.
Mr. Calabrigo stated that pursuant to Government Code Section 54954.2(b)(2),
Town staff was asking to add agenda items 6.7 and 6.8 to the agenda as urgency
items. The urgency is as follows: the need for action arose after the posting of the
agenda on March 12, with the six -county Health Order being issued only
yesterday, March 16, at noon. Due to the spread of the COVID-19 virus and the
need to comply with the various federal, state and county orders to ensure public
safety, these items cannot wait until the next Town Council meeting on April 7,
2020. This item requires a 2/3 vote of the Town Council to add it to the agenda.

DANVILLE TOWN COUNCIL
SUMMARY OF ACTIONS
MARCH 17, 2020
ITEM 6.7 - Consider adoption of Resolution No. 21-2020, proclaiming the existence of a
local emergency within the Town of Danville in response to the Novel Coronavirus
designated as COVID-19 ADDED AS URGENCY ITEM
Town Manager Joe Calabrigo presented the staff report and stated that the Town Council
is being asked to approve a Declaration of Local Emergency for the Town of Danville in
response to the evolving threat of the novel coronavirus. The declaration would
authorize the Emergency Services Director to determine which Town services are
essential governmental functions that will continue during the length of the order,
designate employees and contractors necessary to perform the essential functions, and
determine which Town facilities must remain open. In addition, it places a stay on the
Town's normal procurement and purchasing policies in favor of the Town's emergency
procurement policies for the duration. The emergency declaration will continue until
terminated by action of the Town Council. He explained that, with the measures put into
place by Contra Costa County, and the State of California, it would be prudent for the
Town to adopt the emergency declaration. Given these restrictions, the presence of the
virus in Contra Costa County, and the need to preserve public health, it is appropriate
for the Town Council to declare a local emergency.
Vice Mayor Blackwell opened the item to public comment.
There were no speakers.

MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER ARNERICH, SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER
MORGAN, TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 21-2020, PROCLAIMING THE EXISTENCE
OF A LOCAL EMERGENCY WITHIN THE TOWN OF DANVILLE IN RESPONSE TO
THE NOVEL CORONAVIRUS DESIGNATED AS COVID-19
MOTION CARRIED 4-0-0-1
ITEM 6.8 - Consider adoption of Ordinance No. 2020-02, an urgency ordinance of the
Town of Danville suspending automatic deemed complete and approval deadlines for all
land use, subdivision, and zoning applications ADDED AS URGENCY ITEM
City Attorney Rob Ewing presented the staff report and stated that the ordinance would
suspend timelines set forth in state planning law. It is of concern because there are very
specific timelines on applications and there are consequences if the timelines are not met.
The ordinance would suspend the timelines during the local emergency. It is needed
because there are staff that are ordered to work remotely and cannot meet with applicants

and the state and federal agencies required for application review are in the same
situation. The Planning Commission and Design Review Board meetings are being
cancelled due to the local emergency and there are no means to accommodate the public
review process. As of today, all timelines would be frozen until the emergency is lifted
by action of the Town Council. The ordinance would go into effect immediately, with no
second reading.
