Reso 2022-975RESOLUTION NO.2022-975
A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COSTA MESA
SANITARY DISTRICT RE -IMPLEMENTING AB 361 AND EXTENDING THE TIME
FOR THE USE OF REMOTE MEETINGS 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Whereas, the Legislature has now superseded that Executive Order with AB 361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 Deltachron variant of the Corona virus is again spreading
rapidly and is highly contagious, necessitating that remote meetings continue;
and
Whereas, a new version known as BA.5 is now also spreading rapidly.
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 M day of 2022.
