Summary

Council voted to permit remote participation for Councilor Taplin under AB 2449, moved several policy-committee items to the consent calendar and approved the consent calendar by roll call; several council members pledged discretionary donations to a Rose Garden film project.

Early in the meeting the council considered and approved a procedural motion to allow Councilor Taplin to participate remotely under the Brown Act amendments in AB 2449. "I move to allow councilor Taplin to participate under AB 2449 for tonight's meetings," the presiding official said; the motion was seconded and approved by roll call.

Later the council moved agenda items 21(a,b), 22(a,b) and 23 to the consent calendar, heard several in-person and Zoom public comments on those items, and then approved the consent calendar by roll call. The consent vote recorded affirmative responses from attending council members; one member (listed absent in roll call) was not present. Multiple council members announced discretionary donations totaling individual commitments (for example, Vice Mayor Weingraff announced a $500 contribution to the Rose Garden film project and other members pledged amounts), which the mayor acknowledged on the record.

The meeting concluded after the consent vote and a motion to suspend the rules and adjourn. No action minutes in this session show council adoption of new ordinances on the items discussed; most items passed as part of consent.
