Meetings During Emergency Conditions

The First 5 Lake Commission conducts its meetings in accordance with Brown Act requirements. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Brown Act requirements were adjusted to allow virtual meetings under Executive Orders of the Governor. As of October 1, 2021, Assembly Bill 361 is in effect and the Executive Order has expired. Per the requirements of the bill, First 5 Lake will decide every 30 days whether or not an existing proclaimed state of emergency necessitates meetings be held virtually rather than in-person.
