I. RECOMMENDATION:
This item was requested as a Future Agenda Item by Councilman Adkisson.
City Manager's recommendation is detailed in the Discussion portion of the staff report.
II. BACKGROUND:
Currently, public participation during Coalinga City Council meetings is done via Zoom.
III. DISCUSSION:
The staff recommendation is to allow public in-person attendance at City Council meetings beginning the first meeting in April 2021.
The number of public in-person attendance would vary for each meeting depending on the number of staff and presenters attending the Council meeting.
Staff would unlock the Council Chamber doors at 5:30pm on Council meeting dates. In-person attendance would be on a first come, first served basis.
Staff would note the number of public in-person attendees permitted via a sign on the Council Chamber doors. Once the number of seats are filled, additional members would need to participate via Zoom rather than in-person.
IV. ALTERNATIVES:
To be discussed during item.
V. FISCAL IMPACT:
None. |
