VIRTUAL MEETING TELECONFERENCING and PHONE NUMBER FOR PUBLIC PARTICIPATION

In conformity with the September 16, 2021 Enactment of California Assembly Bill 361 (Rivas) and concerns over COVID-19, the Woodland Hills Issues and Policies Committee meeting will be conducted entirely telephonically with a call-in option or internet-based service option.

Every person wishing to address the Neighborhood Council must dial 1 669 900 6833 to access by phone or internet via browser or the “Zoom“App and enter Webinar ID # 890 7787  1030 and then press # to join the meeting. The Chair will give listeners instructions for providing public comments at the start of the meeting. When calling-in telephonically, the public is requested to dial *9, when prompted by the Chair or Moderator, to address the Committee on any agenda item before the Committee takes action on each item. Zoom users should use the “raise hand“ feature.

AB 361 Updates: Submission of Public comment cannot be required in advance of the meeting, only real-time

public comment is required. If broadcasting interruptions prevent the public from observing or hearing the meeting, the meeting must be recessed or adjourned. If the people cannot provide public comment or cannot be heard due to issues within the Neighborhood Council’s control, the meeting must be recessed or adjourned.

Messaging and virtual backgrounds are in the control of the individual Committee member in their personal capacity. They do not reflect any formal position of the Neighborhood Council or the City of Los Angeles.

• PUBLIC INPUT ON AGENDA ITEMS – The public may address the Committee on any agenda item before the Committee takes action on an item. The Committee will accept comments from the public on agenda items only when the Committee considers the individual item.
• PUBLIC INPUT ON MATTERS NOT ON THE AGENDA – During the General Public Comment period, the Committee listens to comments from the public on other matters not appearing on the agenda that are within the Committee’s jurisdiction. Please note that the Brown Act prevents the Committee from acting on an issue that you bring to its attention during the General Public Comment period; however, the issue raised by a public member may become the subject of a future Committee meeting.

Public Comments are limited to two (2) minutes per speaker unless adjusted by the presiding member of the Committee. The presiding member may impose time limits per each agenda item as needed.
