VALLEJO, CA – On November 16, 2021, the City of Vallejo will resume in-person meetings for its Council, Board, and Commission meetings. A hybrid Zoom option will continue to remain available to the public, but per the Brown Act, all commissioners, council, and board members are required to attend the meeting in person unless or until the council declares another state of emergency.
Important information for those wishing to attend the meetings in person:
-
Masks will be required at all times while inside city buildings regardless of vaccination status. There will be no exceptions. We encourage the public to bring their own mask, although masks will be provided should members of the public arrive without one. Security will be enforcing mask-wearing as the public enters the room and through the duration of the meeting.
-
You must sanitize your hands. In-person attendees must sanitize their hands upon entrance of the chambers or meeting room. A hand sanitizing station will be provided at the entrance door.
-
The public will not be permitted into City Hall until 30 minutes before the start of any meeting. The doors will remain locked until 30 minutes prior to any city meeting, at which time a security guard will be unlocking the doors and allowing individuals (with masks) inside the chambers or building.
-
Attend at your own risk. City staff will do their best to help mitigate the risk of infection through the sanitization of high touchpoints in the meeting areas. However, social distancing is not required and may be difficult depending on how many members of the public attend the meetings.
If you are attending a meeting in person and require special accommodations such as translation services, you must notify the City Clerk no later than 3 business days prior to a meeting. You can contact the City Clerk via email at dawn.abrahamson@cityofvallejo.net or by phone at 707-648-4528
Public Commenting
Members of the public that are in chambers will be called on first; then ZOOM users/callers will be allowed to speak. Staff will alert ZOOM users/callers when it is their turn to talk.
As per the City's municipal code, the same rules and policies exist regarding public comment and maintaining decorum during meetings.
