Crescent City to move to virtual meetings

The Crescent City Council passed a resolution that will take council and other city meetings to strictly teleconferencing formats due to rising COVID numbers, at least for the next 30 days.

During a special meeting on Jan. 7, the council voted to take all actions necessary to conduct meetings of all city boards, commissions and committees in accordance with the Brown Act, and will revisit the resolution after 30 days.

The provision expressly applies, but is not limited to the Planning Commission, successor agency of the Crescent City Redevelopment Agency, the housing authority and all other standing committees of the city council.

The City Council has the authority to vote whether to hold its meetings through the use of teleconference, per California Assembly Bill 3
