March 10, 1994 (For cc Mtg of 3/16/94)
CONSIDER RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 94-1006 AND
ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 94-/();1-?,,, CHANGING THE
COUNCIL RULES OF PROCEDURE TO REFLECT
IMPLEMENTATION OF BROWN ACT AMENDMENTS; APPROVAL OF
BROWN ACT IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES AND REVISION TO
MOP 8, STANDING COMMITTEES; AND APPROVAL OF MEETING
SCHEDULE FOR STANDING COMMITTEES
On October 10 and 11, 1993, four bills were signed into law which
make substantial changes to the Brown Act. These changes go into
effect on April 1, 1994.
Attached is a proposed implementation guide for the new provisions
of the Brown Act which will affect noticing, posting and other
procedures relative to the conduct of public meetings. Also,
included for adoption, is a revised Rules of Procedure resolution
and a revised MOP #8, Standing Committees. These documents have
all been revised to reflect changes necessitated by the Brown Act
amendments.
Section 10 of the Agenda format is proposed to be changed to
"Announcements and Future Agenda Items" deleting "Comments from
Councilmembers" as the Brown Act amendments prohibit discussion of
items not listed on the agenda. Under the amended Brown Act,
Councilmembers may briefly respond to statements made or questions
posed by persons exercising their public testimony rights;
Councilmembers may ask for clarification, provide a reference to
staff or other resources for factual information or request staff
to report back to the Council at a subsequent meeting concerning
any matter; and Councilmembers may direct staff to place a matter
of business on a future agenda. Should there be more than one
individual comment on any subject, such comments might be construed
as discussion.
