CC RES 2023-004 RESOLUTION NO. 2023-04
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO PALOS VERDES UPDATING THE LANGUAGE
ON THE CITY'S AGENDAS TO REFLECT THE CHANGES
TO THE BROWN ACT ENACTED BY AB 2449, SB 1100,
AND SB 1489
WHEREAS, on September 13, 2022, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill
2449 ("AB 2449") to modernize existing teleconferencing requirements under the Brown
Act by temporarily allowing less than a quorum of a legislative body to attend public
meetings remotely without posting their location and removing the requirement for public
participation in a nonpublic location, provided certain requirements are met;
WHEREAS, AB 2449 also requires that the legislative bodies adopt a reasonable
accommodation policy for an individual with disabilities, consistent with the Americans
with Disabilities Act ("ADA"), and the bill requires that "In each instance in which notice of
the time of the meeting is otherwise given or the agenda for the meeting is otherwise
posted, the legislative body shall also give notice of the procedure for receiving and
resolving requests for accommodation;"
WHEREAS, on August 22, 2022, Governor Newsom signed Senate Bill 1100 ("SB
1100"), amending the Brown Act by adding Section 54957.95 to the Government Code,
which adds provisions that articulate the authority of the presiding member of a legislative
body to have an individual removed for disrupting a meeting of the body, as well as the
process for the presiding member to follow.
WHEREAS, on September 18, 2022, Governor Newsom signed Senate Bill 1489
("SB 1489"), which amends Government Code Section 36934 to no longer require reading
of ordinances by title only, as follows (new language in italics): "Except when, after
reading the title, further reading is waived by regular motion adopted by majority vote all
ordinances shall be read in full either at the time of introduction or passage; provided,
however, that a reading of the title or ordinance shall not be required if the title is included
on the published agenda and a copy of the full ordinance is made available to the public
online and in print at the meeting prior to the introduction or passage."
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes wishes to update
the agenda language to reflect the requirements of AB 2449, SB 11000, and SB 1489
which went into effect on January 1, 2023.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS
VERDES DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DECLARE, DETERMINE, AND ORDER AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by
reference.
