Welcome everyone to the retreat

Background: The passage of AB 361 allows public bodies to dispense with certain normally applicable Brown Act teleconferencing requirements wherever a public body holds a meeting during a proclaimed state of emergency and one of three conditions are met: 

1. State or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing; or 

2. The meeting is for the purpose of determining, by a majority vote, whether as a result of the state of emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees; or 

3. The body has determined, by a majority vote, that, as a result of the state of emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees. 

AB 361 provides that if a state of emergency remains in place, a local agency must make the following findings by majority vote every 30 days, in order to continue using the bill’s exemption to the Brown Act teleconferencing rules: 
(A) The legislative body has reconsidered the circumstances of the emergency; and 
(B) Either of the following circumstances exists: Purpose Presenter Time 
(1) the state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of board members to meet safely in person, or 
(2) State or local officials continue to impose or recommend social distancing measures. 

Draft Motion: The Academy of Alameda Board of Directors approves continuing to hold Board meetings and Board committee meetings virtually through August 31, 2022 due to the state of emergency related to COVID-19 that continues to directly impact the ability of board members and attendees to meet safely in person pursuant to AB 361.
