On March 16, 2020, the Health Officer of Contra Costa County issued an Order through April 7, 2020, that directed that all individuals living in the County to shelter at their place of residence except that they may leave to provide or receive certain essential services or engage in certain essential activities and work for essential businesses and governmental services.

On March 17, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-29-20, authorizing legislative bodies to hold public meetings via teleconferencing.  Executive Order N-29-20 further provides that a legislative body that holds a meeting via teleconference and allows members of the public to observe and address the meeting telephonically or otherwise electronically, consistent with notice and accessibility requirements as set forth in the Order, shall have satisfied any requirement that the body allow members of the public to attend the meeting and offer public comment. Such a body need not make available any physical location from which members of the public may observe the meeting and offer public comment.

DUE TO THE SHELTER IN PLACE ORDER AND GOVERNOR NEWSOM’S EXECUTIVE ORDER, WE ARE REVISING THE AGENDA TO INCLUDE ONLY URGENT, TIME SENSITIVE, AND/OR ROUTINE CONSENT CALENDAR ITEMS. Additionally, attendance at the meeting will be limited to Council members, City of Richmond staff, and members of the news media. Public comment will be confined to items appearing on the agenda and will be limited to written communication as provided below. Consistent with Executive Order N-29-20, this meeting will utilize teleconferencing only.
