WRCOG Webinar: Navigating Virtual Governance and the Brown Act in a COVID-19 Climate
Western Riverside Council of Governments
As part of WRCOG's Future Forward webinar series, Best Best & Krieger Partner Michael Maurer joins City of Norco Mayor Pro Tem Kevin Bash and CALCOG Executive Director Bill Higgins to address these timely questions:
- What have we learned about virtual public meetings under the Governor's Executive Order?
- One of the underlying principles of the Brown Act is transparency in decision-making. Do virtual platforms do enough to assure that transparency?
- What would it look like to update the Brown Act with innovation developed during the COVID-19 pandemic?
- If the Brown Act were to be amended, what other areas need to be addressed?
- How do we assure access to meetings for those who do not have high quality broadband access?
