Council discusses in-person Brown Act workshop; AB 1234 training to be scheduled separately
Summary
Council members favored an in-person Brown Act workshop and recommended holding AB 1234 (ethics) training on a separate day; staff will poll availability and coordinate dates, with cost noted to be the same for in-person or online delivery.
The council discussed scheduling an in‑person Brown Act workshop for council and city commissions and recommended that AB 1234 ethics training be scheduled as a separate session.
Council members said they learn better in person and suggested splitting the Brown Act workshop from AB 1234 because AB 1234 is a mandatory two‑hour training and would make for a long combined day. Roy, representing the city’s legal services, said his firm offers AB 1234 either in person or via Zoom and charges by hourly rate; the cost is generally the same whether the training is online or in person.
Council members asked staff to check calendars and consider dates where planning commission or parks and recreation commission meetings already occur so a joint session could be added. One councilmember suggested distributing a short availability survey with several proposed dates to find the best fit for the majority.
No formal action was taken; staff agreed to follow up with possible dates and cost estimates and to coordinate with the commissions.
