Teleconference Rules for Board Meetings
Board meetings are frequently conducted in accordance with longstanding (pre-COVID) teleconference meeting rules contained in Gov. Code 54953(b), which require:
(1) a board majority attends the meeting from within board boundaries;
(2) all votes are roll call votes;
(3) all teleconference locations are listed on the agenda (the District’s physical location for the meeting and the remote location for any board members, if applicable);
(4) the agenda is posted at each teleconference location;
(5) each teleconference location is accessible to members of the public; and
(6) members of the public attending from each teleconference location are able to make public comment from that location: (Gov. Code 54953(b)(2)(D) states: “The legislative body shall allow members of the public to access the meeting and the agenda shall provide an opportunity for members of the public to address the legislative body directly pursuant to Section 54954.3.”
NOTE: The District may exercise discretion to invite attorneys, auditors, consultants, etc. to address the Board remotely (e.g. using telephone or video connection). This does not require that the Board conduct other aspects of the meeting remotely.
