ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT 6.7
TO: Mayor and Town Council April 19, 2022
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 29-2022, setting the time and place for regular meetings of
the Danville Town Council
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The Brown Act requires every council and commission set the time and place for their
regular meetings. This process is important both for determining the type of notice required
for the meeting but also because certain actions can only be taken during regular, not special,
meetings.
Prior to the onset of the COVID pandemic, all regular meetings of the Town Council were
held at 7:30 p.m. in the Town Meeting Hall at 201 Front Street. During the pandemic, the
Town Council adopted Resolution No. 4-2021, acknowledging that, due to health concerns
and restrictions, all regular meetings would be held solely via teleconference (Zoom) and
would begin at 5:00 p.m. That resolution remains in effect today.
Beginning on May 3, 2022, the Town Council will conduct its regular meetings as hybrid
meetings. The Town Council and staff will be physically present in the Town Meeting Hall.
Members of the public may attend and participate in the meetings in person or they may do
so via Zoom. In order to allow for additional Town staff to be present to address potential
technology issues (which could lead to postponement of meetings), the start time for
meetings will remain at 5:00 p.m.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Posting of the meeting agenda serves as notice to the general public.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
