MEETING INFORMATION AND ACCOMMODATION
To combat the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19), the member cities of the Westside Cities Council of Governments (WSCCOG) have issued a “Safer at Home” emergency order in March 2020, ordering all residents to stay inside their residences and to immediately limit all movement
outside of their homes beyond what is absolutely necessary to take care of essential needs. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health issued a Revised Order on March 21, 2020 which prohibits all public and private group events and gatherings and requires all persons to remain in their homes (except as otherwise provided in the Order for essential activities). The Governor of California issued Executive Orders N-25-20 and N-29-20, which waived certain Brown Act meeting requirements, including any requirements to make a physical meeting location available to the public; and, most recently, the March 19, 2020 Executive Order N-33-22, which ordered all residents to stay at home. As such, the WSCCOG will provide the Members of the Public to view and participate in the meeting remotely using YouTube Live and Zoom Webinar (Zoom Webinar ID: 875 5027 5777
Passcode: 522247). The weblink to the YouTube Live will be made available on the WSCCOG website www.westsidecities.org at 11:45 a.m. on Thursday, December 17, 2020. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION BY PROVIDING E-COMMENT Members of the Public who wish to comment on matters before the Board are strongly encouraged to submit an email with their written comments limited to 1,000 characters to riley@estolanoadvisors.com by no later than 12:00 p.m. on the day of the meeting. *Note: E-Comments received after 12:00 p.m. will be forwarded to the Board and posted on the COG’s
