Beautification Commission Meeting Agenda - Final February 3, 2022
On September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom signed into law AB 361, which allows a local agency to
meet remotely when:
1. The local agency holds a meeting during a declared state of emergency
2. State or local health officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social
distancing
3. Legislative bodies declare the need to meet remotely due to present imminent risks to the health or
safety of attendees
On September 20, the City Council adopted Resolution Number 007-2022 stating that the City Council
and Commissions will continue to meet remotely for at least thirty days for the following reasons:
1. The City is still under a local state of emergency
2. County Health Orders require that all individuals in public spaces maintain social distancing and
wear masks
3. The City can't maintain social distancing requirements for the public, staff, Councilmembers, and
Commissioners in their meeting spaces.
Pursuant to Resolution Number 007-2022, the Burlingame Beautification Commission Meeting will not
be open to the public for the February 3, 2022 Meeting.
Welcome!
