Commission adopts 30-day extension to continue remote hearings
Summary
The commission adopted a 30-day resolution to extend remote hearings, following city attorney guidance and due to closure of City Hall; commissioners voted unanimously to renew the authority in 30-day increments as needed.
The Historic Preservation Commission adopted a resolution extending authority for remote hearings for a 30-day period, with plans to consider further 30-day extensions depending on pandemic conditions and City Hall reopening. Staff explained the extension is needed because the governor had not extended Brown Act relief and city administrative offices had not authorized in-person hearings.
Commissioners opened the item for public comment; none was received. A motion to adopt the resolution was made, seconded, and passed on a roll-call vote of 7–0. Staff said the city attorney's office proposed the 30-day approach as a legal means to continue remote meetings until in-person hearings are permitted.
