The Baldwin Park City Council voted to allow Mayor Estrada to participate in the meeting by teleconference for just cause and for official business.
Council members moved and seconded the measures after a clerk’s call for a motion. When polled, Council member Avila, Council member Damian and Mayor Pro Tem Ayala each answered “Yes,” and the chair announced the motion carried. The clerk later confirmed Mayor Estrada’s remote presence by roll call; Council member Garcia was not present and a quorum was declared.
The council briefly addressed compliance details for remote participation during the roll call. The chair asked whether any individuals age 18 or older were present at the mayor’s remote location; Mayor Estrada responded, “No. There's nobody here.” The chair also reminded the remote participant to keep the camera on for the duration of the meeting.
After the attendance check and the teleconference approval, the clerk reported there were no requests for public communications. The chair then said the meeting would recess to a closed session and resume for the scheduled 7:00 p.m. meeting.
No ordinances, resolutions or other substantive policy items were discussed or voted on during the recorded segment of this meeting.
