RESOLUTION NO. 55-2022
APPROVING THE CONTINUED USE OF TELECONFERENCING FOR THE
MEETINGS OF ALL TOWN LEGISLATIVE BODIES OTHER THAN THE TOWN
COUNCIL PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF AB 361
WHEREAS, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Governor declared a State of
Emergency and subsequently adopted an Executive Order allowing the legislative bodies
of local governments to meet remotely via teleconference so long as other provisions of
the Brown Act were followed; and
WHEREAS, on September 15, 2021, the Governor signed into law, as an urgency
measure, AB 361, which allows for the continued use of remote meetings by local
legislative bodies subject to certain conditions, which must be reconsidered every 30
days; and
WHEREAS, on behalf of all legislative bodies for the Town of Danville, the Danville
Town Council has considered the current state of health guidance related to public
meetings in Contra Costa County; and
WHEREAS, the Town Council returned to in person meetings effective July 19, but due
to the size of the Town's commissions and the limited seating at the Town Meeting Hall
dais, finds it necessary to continue with remote meetings for the next 30 days for all other
Town legislative bodies to promote public health and safety; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that the Danville Town Council approves the continued use of
teleconferencing for public meetings of Town legislative bodies other than the Town
Council and its subcommittees for the next 30 days based on the following findings
required by Government Code Section 549539(e), as amended by AB 361:
• The entire State of California remains under a proclaimed state of emergency as
declared by the Governor of the State of California on March 4, 2020, related to the
COVID-19 pandemic.
• The California Department of Public Health continues to strongly recommend the
use of face coverings in indoor settings. The Health Officer for Contra Costa
County updated their "Recommendations for Safely Holding Public Meetings" on
July 5, 2022. Those updated recommendations continue to "strongly recommend"
on-line meetings given still high transmission rates, that local agencies should
provide options for the public to participate without having to attend meetings in
person, and that social distancing should be used, including six feet of spacing
between all in attendance.
