While the City is interested in returning to in-person meetings as soon as <br /> practicable, until that can happen for all City legislative and advisory bodies, State law <br /> (AB 361 of 2021) requires the City to make findings regarding the public health <br /> emergency to continue at least some virtual meetings. The Council adopted such <br /> findings on October 5, 2021 by Resolution No. 21-1249, again on November 2 and <br /> December 7, 2021, as well as on January 18 and February 15, 2022. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> Adopt by minute order the following findings: <br /> 1 . City meetings are not able to consistently provide for six feet of separation <br /> between persons due to the small size of many meeting rooms, plus the large <br /> membership of some commissions and committees; <br /> 2. Not all City meeting rooms are able to achieve ventilation, filtration and indoor air <br /> quality recommendations. <br /> FINANCIAL STATEMENT <br /> No affect. Existing staff will continue to facilitate virtual meetings. <br /> Submitted by: Approved by: <br /> , /A , <br /> aniel Sodergren Jocely wo • Brian Dolan <br /> City Attorney City Clerk Interim City Manager <br />
