Reso 2022-952RESOLUTION NO.2022-952
A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COSTA MESA SANITARY DISTRIC
EXTENDING THE TIME FOR THE USE OF REMOTE MEETINGS PURSUANT TO AB 361 AND
MAKING FINDINGS RELATED THERETO BECAUSE OF THE CORONA VIRUS
Whereas, the Brown Act (Gov Code 54950 et seq.) requires that public meetings generally be
"open and public"; and
Whereas, the Corona virus (Covid 19) has created an unprecedented world-wide pandemic; and
Whereas, the Governor of California declared a state of emergency because of the Corona virus
and issued an emergency order suspending various portions of the Brown Act to allow "remote
meetings" provided certain safeguards are in place; and
Whereas, the District Board of Directors (hereinafter "Board") has implemented that authority
to conduct remote meetings; and
Whereas, the Legislature has now superseded that Executive Order with AB 361 to allow
remote meetings provided certain conditions exist; and
Whereas, the first variant of the Corona virus was the Delta variant and caused additional
infections; and
Whereas, the new Omicron variant of the Corona virus is again spreading rapidly and is highly
contagious, necessitating that remote meetings continue.
Now, therefore, the Board does hereby Find, Resolve and Determine as follows:
1. A State of Emergency still exists, and the Governor's declaration of emergency remains
in effect.
2. The Board has recommended that social distancing be employed to prevent the spread
of the disease.
3. The Board has also determined that meeting in person would present imminent risks to
the health or safety of attendees of Board meetings.
4. That the protections required by AB 361 will be in place so that the public may
participate remotely.
5. That this resolution shall be effective for 30 days and must be renewed thereafter.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 9-1 #4day of. 1 2022.
