As a result of the COVID-19 emergency, certain provisions of the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act were waived by executive orders issued by the Governor to protect public health by limiting public gatherings and requiring social distancing.  Those waivers were extended through additional executive orders and legislation. Most recently Senate Bill 189 was enacted and included an extension of the waivers through June 30, 2023. This meeting will be scheduled to provide both an in person opportunity to attend as well as a remote participation option in compliance with the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act, and Senate Bill 189, which suspended the requirements that a physical location be available for members of the public during a teleconference meeting, that each teleconference location be accessible to the public, and that at least one member of the state body be physically present at the location specified in this notice.

Members of the public are welcome to listen to the teleconference meeting and provide public comment by using the following information:
