• Quorum Requirement: A majority of the legislative body must be physically present at a designated, noticed location.
• Remote Participation Limits (Effective Jan 1, 2026): Under SB 707, members may only attend remotely twice per year (if meeting monthly or less), five times (twice per month), or seven times (three+ times per month).
• "Just Cause" & Emergency Rules: Members may attend remotely without posting their location for specific, limited reasons, such as illness, caregiving needs, or emergencies.

Board chair or presiding member calls a meeting to order by publicly announcing the start time, confirming a quorum is present, and ensuring the meeting is held in a properly noticed, accessible location. The meeting must follow the posted agenda, allowing public comment on items before or during consideration.

1 min per speaker

All stakeholders are able to publicly speak or submit in writing to the board any comments pertaining to the agenda. The time limit for such an item is ONE minute per speaker (If translation is required, an additional minute for translation purposes will be granted).  The board is not able to respond to inquiries nor public comments during this period of time.
