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 ANDMAKING 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
virusand 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Whereas, the Legislature has now superseded that Executive Order with AB 361 to allow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.
