January 11, 2022 Dublin City Council Regular Meeting Agenda 4.7 Authorizing Remote Meetings of City Council and City Commissions Due to Increase in COVID-19 Cases From March 2020 through September 2021, the City conducted meetings of its legislative bodies remotely pursuant to various executive orders that suspended certain Brown Act provisions. In October, the City returned to in- person meetings and at the same time state law changed to require certain findings to be made for an agency to meet remotely. Under the new law, AB 361, the City can conduct virtual meetings where the Governor has proclaimed a State of Emergency and state or local health officials have imposed or recommended social distancing or where the City Council has declared the need to meet remotely due to imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees. The current substantial increase in cases resulting from the Omicron variant lead Staff to conclude that it would be prudent for the City Council and City Commissions to meet virtually for at least the next 30 days. The City Council will consider adopting a resolution that would allow for virtual meetings for the next 30 days. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolution Finding That There Is a Proclaimed State of Emergency; Finding That Meeting in Person Would Present Imminent Risks to the Health or Safety of Attendees as a Result of the State of Emergency; and Authorizing Remote Teleconferenced Meetings of the Legislative Bodies of the City of Dublin for the 30-Day Period Beginning January 11 Pursuant to AB 361. 4.8 City Council Participation in the St. Patrick's Day Parade The City Council will consider participating in the 2022 St. Patrick's Day Parade by riding as a group on a decorated float. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Direct Staff to proceed with securing and decorating a float to be used by the City Council during the parade. 5. WRITTEN COMMUNICATION – None. 6. PUBLIC HEARING – None. 7. UNFINISHED BUSINESS 7.1 Community Workforce Agreement with the Building and Construction Trades Council of Alameda County and Affiliated Unions The City Council will consider approving a Community Workforce Agreement with the Building and Construction Trades Council of Alameda County and affiliated unions. The proposed Community Workforce Agreement would cover all public works projects valued at or over $1,000,000 and will ensure there are no labor issues related to major construction projects while bolstering local efforts to connect residents with careers in the building and construction trades.
